Universal Orlando has debuted a new themed experience inspired by NBC’s The Traitors: New Blood at Universal CityWalk.
Beginning September 12, both bar areas inside Universal’s Great Movie Escape have been transformed with The Traitors: New Blood theming, featuring specialty cocktails, themed decor, and costumes worn by host Alan Cumming.
The limited-time takeover will run throughout the season of The Traitors: New Blood, which premieres September 17 at 8 pm on NBC before streaming the following day on Peacock.
The Traitors is a hit reality competition built around deception, with contestants divided between the Faithful and secret Traitors as they compete for a cash prize while trying to uncover who is working against them. New Blood puts a new spin on the format, replacing the celebrities and reality stars with everyday Americans competing in the same game of deception.
Both The Library and The Roundtable bars have received new decor inspired by the series and offer separate menus of specialty drinks.
The Library menu features:
- The Raven – A dark, fruity cocktail made with scotch whisky, blackberry whiskey, cassis liqueur, lemon juice, and ginger beer garnished with a blackberry and mint bouquet.
- A Murder in Plain Sight – A sweet, sparkling cocktail made with prosecco, hibiscus syrup, and lemon juice, garnished with a lemon peel twist.
- The Castle at Midnight – A rich, shadowy espresso martini made with vodka, coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, espresso, and chocolate bitters garnished with espresso beans.
- The Secret Passage – A robust, smooth, smoky oak cocktail made with bourbon, agave syrup, orange bitters, and bourbon barrel-aged aromatic bitters with an expressed orange peel garnish.
- The Shield – A fizzy, flavorful mocktail made with apple juice, lemon juice, hibiscus syrup, smoked saline solution, and club soda with a lemon peel garnish.
Over at The Roundtable Bar, guests can find:
- The Faithful – Gin, blue curaçao, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda.
- The New Blood – Cherry rum, dark rum, cassis liqueur, cherry liqueur, lime juice, hibiscus syrup, and barrel-aged spiced cherry bitters.
- The Traitor – Rye whiskey, red Italian bitter, lemon juice, grenadine, simple syrup, and barrel-aged spiced cherry bitters.
- The Dagger – Vodka, green Chartreuse, lime, and lychee syrup.
- The Ally – A non-alcoholic drink featuring lemon juice, club soda, blue curaçao, and elderflower syrup.
Guests are not required to participate in Universal’s Great Movie Escape attractions, so they can drop in and visit the bars at any time.
