Vacation is all about indulging, and the decadent desserts and cozy winter drinks in Myrtle Beach are some of the most flavorful ways to treat yourself. Once the summer season fades, vacationers gladly trade in their fruity cocktails and ice cream for spiked ciders and rich desserts featuring warming winter spices. A bonus of visiting in the off-season—beyond the holiday decorations and glowing fireplaces—is that when the crowds are gone, you’re free to linger over a decadent slice of pie or after-dinner drink as long as you wish.
Sea Captain’s House
This favorite Myrtle Beach restaurant offers seasonal drinks and a holiday dessert menu within two miles of Bay View Resort. Indulge in homemade cakes or pies generously topped with streusel, ganache, and other decadent fixings. Warming cinnamon and spices awaken your palate, and the drinks complement any festive dish. Try a peppermint-flavored martini that tastes like candy canes or opt for a bourbon and apple drink with a black pepper and ginger kick. Catch the holiday happy hour in November through the end of February at Sea Captain’s House—it’s one of the best in Myrtle Beach.
Aspen Grille
Take the short four-mile drive up the coast from Bay View Resort to desserts and drinks at one of the area’s best restaurants. The Aspen Grille prioritizes fresh, premium ingredients for all of its entrées, and the same goes for the sweets. In-house bakers and a network of private bakeries create fresh, decadent desserts that impart a delicious finish to any meal here. The hot coffee cocktails are spiked to your liking and topped with an airy whipped cream. Featured favorites include the carrot cake cheesecake with loads of warming spices, a 10-layer chocolate cake with house-made whipped cream, and a comforting blueberry bread pudding topped with caramel sauce. If you prefer drinks for dessert, try the apple pie martini.
Crave Italian Oven and Bar
