If You Haven't Tried These Boozy Disney World Cocktails, Get Ready to Explore a Whole New World

You may not heavily associate Disney World with alcohol, but when you really look, there's a whole world of boozy possibilities, my friends. All of the rides, characters, and crying children can be a real assault on the senses, and nothing takes the edge off quite like a refreshing adult beverage. Lucky for us, good ol' Walt Disney wasn't a prohibitionist, and the alcoholic options at Disney World continue to expand. From the adult play land of Disney Springs to the parks themselves, we've gathered up the best cocktails of the bunch, whether you're in the mood for something sugary-sweet or down and dirty. Just note that we don't recommend downing too many of these before getting on the Mad Tea Party ride.

01

Fountain of Youth

Though we can't promise that this cocktail will keep you young forever, we can assure you that the Fountain of Youth from Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar in Disney Springs — which is made with St. Augustine Florida cane vodka, Bols Blue Curaçao, white cranberry juice, and sweet-and-sour mix — is delicious.

02

Mango Loco

The Mango Loco from Choriza de Margarita in Epcot is an oldie but a goodie, consisting of tequila, orange liqueur, wild passion fruit, and mango purée.

03

Cucumber and Jalapeño Margarita

We know what you're thinking: cucumbers and jalapeños? Just trust us and pay a visit to Rix Sports Bar & Grill at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, because we promise that this margarita — made with Exotico Blanco tequila, jalapeño, cucumber, agave nectar, and a hibiscus Himalayan salt rim — makes the strange combination work.

04

Green Electron

The Edison's Green Electron is simple but refreshing, made with Tito's vodka, lemon juice, honey, and green tea. This alone is worth a trip to Disney Springs!

05

Himalayan Ghost

Before you take on Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, you're going to want to try a Himalayan Ghost — made with Snow Leopard vodka, guava, and Odwalla lemonade — from Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks.

06

Southern Sangria

Made with Medley Bros. bourbon, peach liqueur, Tempranillo, and seasonal fruit, the Southern Sangria from Paddlefish in Disney Springs is definitely not your run-of-the-mill glass of sangria.

07

Annapurna Zing

Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom boasts a menu filled with insanely cool alcoholic creations, but the Annapurna Zing — which is made with Bombay Sapphire East gin, passion fruit purée, mint, simple syrup, and lime juice topped with ginger beer and an adorable glowing lotus flower — is not to be missed.

08

Walk the Plank

We'll willingly walk the plank to get one of these cocktails from Sanaa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, made with Crown Royal northern harvest rye whisky, orange juice, almond, and fresh lemon juice, complete with a garnish of maraschino cherries.

09

Bedtime Story

We can't say whether one of these Bedtime Story cocktails will make you ready to party or ready for a nap, but we can say that this favorite from Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar in Disney Springs — made with Absolut Mandarin vodka, Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, hibiscus syrup, fresh lemon juice, and iced tea — is worth the risk.

10

Tempting Tigress

You'll definitely be tempted by this cocktail from Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom, made with Russell's reserve 10-year bourbon, St. Elizabeth allspice dram, tamarind syrup, and lime juice.

11

Tikiti Punch

You'd never guess that a drink made with only two ingredients — Snow Leopard vodka and watermelon lemonade — could be so damn good, but Dawa Bar in Animal Kingdom has made believers out of us.

12

Frozen Margarita With Dole Whip Lime

Disney loves Dole Whip, and if you do too, then you're going to flip for this brand-new Frozen Margarita With Dole Whip Lime, which can only be found at the Barefoot Pool Bar at Disney's Polynesian Resort and is made with Corazón Blanco tequila, Dole Whip Lime, and chili-lime seasoning.

13

"La Choza" Clásica

This super boozy twist on the classic margarita from Choriza de Margarita in Epcot features Casa Noble Joven Reserva de La Cava tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, The Withers Rosé, and a black ant salt rim. Drink with caution, friends.

14

Rum-a-Rita

Love rum? Love margaritas? Then you'll love this Rum-a-Rita from River Roost , which offers Bayou Select rum, Bayou Satsuma orange rum liqueur, orange juice, lime juice, and sour mix.

15

Boto-Rita

Even if you're not a margarita fan, Animal Kingdom's Nomad Lounge offers a Boto-Rita — made with Zignum Reposado mezcal, Combier grapefruit liqueur, guava purée, and lime juice — that's definitely worth a try.

16

Grown-Up’s Lemonade

We're going to let you guys in on a little secret: visit Woody's Lunch Box at Disney's Hollywood Studios and place a mobile order for a Grown-Up's Lemonade. You won't find this drink on the menu sign, but after a full day at Disney, all grown-ups deserve this Three Olives cherry vodka, Odwalla lemonade, and black cherry purée cocktail.

17

Just Peachy

Nothing will have you feeling peachier than this Just Peachy cocktail from Ale & Compass Lounge at Disney's Yacht Club Resort, which is made with Ciroc peach vodka, Aperol, Peychaud's bitters, peach, and blood orange.

18

Welsh Dragon

Made with peach schnapps, melon liqueur, crème de menthe, orange juice, and pineapple juice, the Welsh Dragon from Rose & Crown in Epcot is sure to wake your inner dragon.

19

Honey Lavender

Featuring fresh strawberries and raspberries mixed with rosemary lavender vodka, lemon juice, honey syrup, and a rosemary and lemon twist garnish, the Honey Lavender from Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' in Disney Springs is an actual work of art.

20

Derby Cocktail

No trip to Disney World is complete without one of these insanely cool glowing Derby Cocktails from The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge in Hollywood Studios, made with Gentleman Jack, Florida honey syrup, and pink grapefruit juice, complete with a souvenir glow cube. While you're there, be sure to ask about their margarita flights as well.

21

Sicilian Sunset

There's no better way to end the day than with a refreshing Sicilian Sunset from Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in Epcot, made with vodka, orangecello, and orange and pineapple juices, served over shaved ice.

22

Magical Star Cocktail

Made with X-Fusion organic mango and passion fruit liqueur, Parrot Bay coconut rum, pineapple juice, and a souvenir multicolored glow cube, the Magical Star Cocktail from 50's Prime Time Café in Hollywood Studios is nothing short of magic.

23

Admiral’s Punch

If you're looking for a one-two punch, the Admiral's Punch at Paddlefish in Disney Springs — made with a blend of Smith & Cross Jamaican rum and Santa Teresa Venezuelan rum — might be just the thing.

24

Heavenly Clouds

Visit Nine Dragons Restaurant in Epcot for this coconut rum, honeydew melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and cream float, which seriously tastes like heaven.

25

HippopotoMai-Tai

There are plenty of opportunities to take home a fun souvenir cup (and a great buzz) from Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace at Disney's Polynesian Resort, but we're partial to the HippopotoMai-Tai, made with Coruba dark rum, Bacardi Superior rum, Bols Orange Curaçao, orgeat, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice.
