Datamosh at Meow Wolf's Omega Mart brings drinks to life

MW Native 082924

Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart at AREA15 is the sideways, mysterious grocery store that houses secrets at every turn. Within the supermarket experience is a lineup of unexpected and hilarious products, and if you happen to wander near the pharmacy, you might stumble upon Datamosh, the hidden in-house bar. Many Omega Mart shoppers walk right by while hunting for other portals and dimensions, but if you’re lucky enough to find it, you’ll discover an entire world of unique cocktails.

About the Cocktails

Omega Mart is an immersive experience that’s so cohesive and convincing, it’s easy to lose yourself and hours within the space. One of Omega Mart’s most consistent characteristics is its sense of humor, which is whimsical and surreal. This also applies to the menu at Datamosh with cocktails that are full of personality.

Further, there are Easter eggs scattered throughout the Datamosh menu, from cocktail names to key ingredients, everything is chosen for a reason. Even the smallest details, such as the use of rosemary, which pays homage to Rose The Herbalist, one of Omega Mart’s many characters.

Paloma Pop

A quintessential summer cocktail, palomas are always on the menu in Las Vegas. This one is especially flavorful, featuring tequila, grapefruit juice and a unique champagne and pink peppercorn simple syrup that offers a depth of flavor that will leave you wanting more.

Happle Juice

What’s a happle? It’s an exotic and extremely rare fruit that exists only in the Omega Mart universe. This cocktail is presented like the delicate produce product it is and includes the signature Happle Juice blend—apple sake, aloe liqueur, citrus, apple bitters and buzz button.

But what's a buzz button? Also known as a Szechuan button or an electric daisy, this garnish is an edible flower that creates a tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth.

The Source

Described as Datamosh’s pièce de résistance, The Source offers one of the most stunning cocktail presentations in Las Vegas. It’s made with blue butterfly-infused gin, bergamot liqueur, rhubarb, strawberry puree and lemon, and it’s topped with a smoke-filled bergamot bubble. The name of the cocktail references an Omega Mart Easter egg, so once you’ve gone through the rest of the experience, The Source is the ideal cocktail with which to celebrate.

Old Fashioned Spray

Yes, it’s an old fashioned, but it’s blue. And slanted. And the alcohol is sprayed out of the Old Fashioned Spray bottle. Though it may look similar to window cleaner, it’s actually rye whiskey. This kooky cocktail is not for the faint of heart; it packs a punch in flavor and proof. In addition to the whiskey, this cocktail features Italian orange liqueur, simple syrup and orange bitters.

Meowjito

The Meowjito is a best seller at Datamosh, and it’s easy to understand why—it’s balanced, refreshing and just sweet enough. Featuring white and golden rums, lemongrass syrup, guava puree, ginger, lime, sugar and mint, it’s an elevated take on the classic that’s purrfect for anyone.

Day Ghost

Meow Wolf collaborated with Albuquerque-based Marble Brewery to craft a Japaneseinspired rice lager called Day Ghost. The signature beer is crisp, balanced and dangerously easy to drink.

Omegarita

Another fresh take on a classic cocktail, the Omegarita is a dark, smoky, orangey and chocolatey masterpiece. It’s made with tequila, mezcal, ginger agave syrup, citrus, cocoa bitters and an orange omega salt rim.
