I'm not generally a fan of gumdrops, but when their spirit is invoked in cocktail form, sign me up for a taste test! Amongst the specialty cocktails currently being served up for the holidays at Disney's Hollywood Studios the Gumdrop just may be my favorite. A sweet and fruity concoction of Stoli Razberi Vodka, Chambord, pineapple juice, cranberry juices, and Sprite it's got all the makings of a super drinkable cocktail.
The Gumdrop Cocktail can be found for a limited time only at the little pop-up bars set up to help folks celebrate the season while taking in the Osborne Lights. One such bar can be found beneath the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" theater marquee on the Streets of America, but you can find seasonal cocktail at other "to-go" stands in the park and at the Hollywood Brown Derby Patio.
According to the Disney Food Blog, the gumdrop garnish flavors on this one are cinnamon and mint. It doesn't seem to me like it would enhance the fruity sour flavors of the drink, but if you eat them first it's certainly fun. A Gumdrop Cocktail will set you back $10.25, which is an average price for Disney specialty cocktails.
If you won't have the chance to get down to Disney before these are gone, you can try your hand at making them at home for your holiday guests! This is one Disney cocktail that's coming home with me for the holidays. The Osborne Lights even more sparkly and exciting when paired with one of the fun holiday beverages being served up on the streets.
