We got a first look at the brand-new Stella Nova Resort at Universal Orlando, which is conveniently near the upcoming Epic Universe theme park opening this summer. It's such an exciting time!

There’s a great list of spirits to sample, from vodka to whiskey, along with refreshing mocktails for a non-alcoholic option.

### Drinks

We sampled The Super Nova for $17.04, a whiskey cocktail with cherry-infused Campari, served with a dramatic smoking presentation. It's reminiscent of a Manhattan meets Aperol Spritz with a cherry twist—though the first sip brought a memory of childhood cherry medicine. But the Campari balance changed the game as we enjoyed the drink's evolving flavors.

### Overall

The Nova Bar impresses with top-notch service and a stunning atmosphere, offering a luxe experience akin to high-end hotels without the hefty price tag. It's a comforting spot with creative cocktails worth trying.

We'll continue to explore Stella Nova Resort’s food and drink offerings. Stay tuned for more reviews!
