National Cocktail Day is March 24 and we’re here to help you celebrate!
There are plenty of places to get a cocktail in Disney World. From lounges at the parks like Nomad Lounge or La Cava de Tequila to Disney hotel favorites like Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. If you love having a cocktail at Disney World, but you’re not there today, here are some ways you can raise a glass at home, Disney-style.
Here are a few Disney cocktail recipes and Disney-themed cocktail essentials we found that will bring some magic to your drinks!
Disney Cocktail Recipes
Krakatoa Punch From Disney World’s Trader Sams
Couldn’t snag a seat at the bar at Trader Sam’s this year? Not to worry! Disney shared the recipe for one of their signature drinks, the Krakatoa Punch, so you can try this one at home!
First, grab all of these ingredients…
- o.5 oz Almond Syrup
- 3 oz Gorilla Grog (a Trader Sam’s specialty made of passion fruit, guava, pineapple, orange, lemon juices, and falernum, a syrup with tons of spices in it!)
- 0.25 oz Hibiscus Grenadine
- 1 oz Aged Rum
- 1 oz Spiced Rum
- Ice
Instructions
Mix it all in a shaker and strain it over ice! If you have a glow cube, you can really emulate the lava look like they do at Trader Sam’s!
Winter Wonderland Spiked Mocha
If you’re a coffee lover and are missing Joffrey’s, you can make this spiked mocha!
