Hello, spooky season! Halloween is almost here, and we’re busy checking out all the Halloween decorations at Disney World, buying all the Halloween stuff, and eating all the Halloween snacks.
We’ve also been drinking all the Halloween drinks. Someone has to do it, right?
And we found a SPPPOOOOKKKYYY drink at Banana Cabana Pool Bar at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! We tried out the Spooky Rum Punch! Yes, they swung for the fences and gave this thing a really unique clever name ;). This drink has Caribbean rum, sour apple liqueur, and cranberry juice garnished with a Purple Poison Apple Novelty Glow Cube.
Interestingly enough, though, this drink is a completely different color from the one in the photo Disney previously provided of it. That drink was purple and had a cherry on top. It looked more cranberry-ish. Grapeish? Definitely SOMETHING on the purple-red side of the color wheel. Check it out below:
THIS drink though is GREEN. Like, old dirty SWAMP green! Honestly, it’s a more fitting color vibe for the season! Looking at the ingredients we’re not entirely sure how neon green liqueur plus red cranberry juice could possibly equal the picture above! Either way, it gives off a very Disney villain vibe — we’re thinking Dr. Facilier. Drinking this might call up our “Friends on the Other Side.” SPOOKY!
As far as the taste of our not-so-purple swamp drink, it was very sweet and sour — maybe a little sweeter than we would normally drink. But it was perfect for the kind of drink you want to sip on while sitting by the pool in the Florida heat!
The Cast Member we spoke to didn’t have the drink yet in the system at Banana Cabana, so she didn’t know its real price. Instead, she charged us for a Mai Tai, which is $13. If YOU get this spooky concoction and it looks more like the promotional photo, let us know!
We love trying all the new Halloween drinks, and we’ll be sure to let you know about any new ones that pop up!
Here are the new fall cocktails set to arrive at Disney Springs restaurants!

I bet they used white cranberry juice for your green drink. Otherwise it would have most surely looked like the original photo.
