Best Cocktails at Disney World

[VicarJT]

We will be heading down for almost two weeks in early March. Our usual practice is to have one ADR per day, and then fill in the rest with snacks and pub food. My spouse does not drink, but I love exploring interesting cocktails, and am looking for recommendations from others who enjoy the same. I don’t like anything that’s overly sweet, anything frozen, but other than that, I’m pretty open. So - what and where are your favorites?

Enchanted Rose at the Grand Floridian has some really nice signature cocktails.

As or not as sweet at Trader Sam's try the Dark & Tropical Stormy or the HippopotoMai-Tai. I like the Shrunken Zombie Head but the juices might be to sweet for you.

I am planning to try the Hippopotamai-tai and the jedi mind trick (and others) but I have no actual wdw cocktail experience

I don't generally do sweet (I like a drink with basil or rosemary in it), but a Mt Killamarito at AKL always hits the spot. I love anything at Nomad, but can't remember the drinks I had there. They were all good. The cosmo type one was excellent, but I prefer something on the rocks. And the Kungaloosh ale got me trying beers again!

I'll add the lounge at BlueZoo.

The Sangria arrive 'smoking', a Burnt Orange Margarita arrive 'in flames'.

I don't know about best, but Trader Sam's Grotto sure has FUN drinks.

 

[VicarJT]

Ya’ll are the best - you’ve named some of my favorites, but plenty of new ones to try! I’m making a list ... checking it twice ...

An alcoholic dole whip at the Polynesian

Most cocktails at Disney are wayyyyy too sweet, but signature restaurants tend to be a bit better. The Tempting Tigress at Tiffins/Nomad Lounge was very good. At festivals or at regular ts restaurants, I tend to sick to wine/beer/bubbly after too many failed experiences with drinking basically sugar syrup mixed with fruit juice.

A Manhattan from the outer rim bar in the Contemporary... nothing too over the top but if you’re a fan of Manhattans or Old Fashions it’s the best one I’ve had on property
