Renaissance Orlando Resort – Disney Springs® Area is raising a glass to discovery this season. As part of Renaissance Hotels’ sponsorship of Cocktail Wars, the new mixology competition series premiering on E! Entertainment Network and hosted by longtime friends and *NSYNC alums Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, the resort is bringing the creativity and craft of the show to life at American Kitchen Bar & Grill.
A Season Built Around Craft and Curiosity
Cocktail Wars celebrates the stories behind exceptional cocktails, drawing inspiration from local culture and neighborhood influence. That same spirit shapes Renaissance Day of Discovery, the brand’s ongoing celebration of craft cocktails and connection. Together, they set the stage for a season of featured pours at American Kitchen.
Sip the Show at American Kitchen
The bar’s seasonal lineup takes cues straight from the series, featuring a smoked old fashioned finished tableside, a tiki serve, a chili-rimmed margarita, an espresso martini, and bright citrus pours, along with a zero-proof option so every guest can join in. Order individually or as a tasting flight, complete with a rate-your-favorite placemat for anyone who wants to crown their own winner.
Premiere Night and Beyond
The celebration begins Tuesday, August 18, with a Cocktail Wars premiere watch party at American Kitchen. Catch the premiere airing live on TV at the bar at 10:00 PM, alongside the featured lineup and warm evening styling that turns the night into something worth lingering over.
This is only the opening pour. The featured lineup and weekly programming continue at American Kitchen through October 20, with a Battle of the Bartenders night planned for late September, a live cocktail competition where guests taste, vote, and help crown the winning creation.
