Listen up, y’all — it’s time to EAT. Or, in this particular case — drink!
The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially begun and we are SO excited. There are lots of food booths, merch to grab, and even awesome concerts. But we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know, and now we’re heading to a few spots in particular — the Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company carts — to give you the FULL scoop! Are these drinks worth a try? Let’s find out!

Drinks
Joffrey’s Near Mission: SPACE in World Discovery
We also tried the Amaretto Iced Tea — a Sweet and Nutty Blend of Black Iced Tea and Amaretto Syrup for $6.49. This one is available with Citrónge Orange Liqueur for $14.99. We got the non-alcoholic version, though.
We’re going to say that since we’re already sweating it out at EPCOT that this is a drink we found VERY refreshing, and surprisingly sweet. The amaretto, though — whew! It packs a pretty punch, but we love the almond extract-like flavor it gives the drink. We’re just going to warn you, though: if you don’t like those kind of flavors, this could be a turn-off.

Pro tip: you’ll want to squeeze that lemon into the drink to add a bright citrus touch. This really helps mellow out some of the drink’s sweetness to make it more balanced.

Then, we tried the Nutty Caramel Mocha Cold Brew, which is a Sweet Blend of Caramel Mudslide Cold Brew, Caramel Syrup, Peanut Butter Syrup, and Chocolate Syrup topped with Whipped Cream and Caramel Sauce for $6.49. You can also get this one with Carolans Peanut Butter Irish Cream Liqueur for $14.99. Sounds pretty darn sweet, but how does it taste?
Well, we got the non-alcoholic version and the only thing we thought of after tasting this coffee was that this is what a Snickers candy bar would taste like in coffee form. It’s sweet, smooth, and nutty (thanks to the peanut syrup).

We LOOOOVVVEEED the way the peanut flavor tasted with the whipped cream: it felt really decadent drinking it. If you want a good dessert coffee drink, THIS IS IT. Starbucks who?

The next Joffrey’s drink we had was the Java Horchata — a Sweet Blend of Espresso and Horchata topped with Whipped Cream and Cinnamon for $6.49, or get the spirited version with Grey Goose Vodka and Kahlúa Liqueur for $14.99. This baby here was SO smooth and bold with a lot of great cinnamon flavor.
Surprisingly though, it wasn’t overly sweet, except for the whipped cream on top. It has a very coffee taste with that touch of cinnamon, so this one is for those who LOVE coffee like we do.

But wait, there’s more!

Finally, we had the Frozen Roseberry, which is a Refreshing Blend of Frozen Lemon and Strawberry-Rose Syrup for $6.49. You can also pick up the version with Grey Goose Vodka for $14.99 (but for the sake of this review, we got the non-alcoholic version). This drink was refreshing, sweet, and tart, and PERFECT. It’s hot, y’all, and this hit the spot.
We definitely get the strawberry flavor, but the rose is very subtle, so it gives it just a bit of uniqueness. Don’t worry if you think this drink tastes floral because we didn’t get that at all. If you’re hot and you need to cool down, we think this will be EXACTLY the thing you need.

Now, we’re off to find a bathroom because all this liquid has to go somewhere.
Overall
