Drinks drinks and more drinks

So, I was reading thru the favorite snacks post and thought "MAAAAAAYBE I should get a grip on favorite drinks around the world!" As you from Jan's Post we will be embarking on a magical drinking journey in a couple weeks. I watched DFBs recent vlog about drinking around the world and it got me to thinking I should get a list of my own together.

What are some of your favorite drinks to enjoy while on property. Parks, Resorts, Disney Springs, anywhere really! And where is your favorite location to enjoy a cocktail?

Here are mine:
Epcot - Grand Marnier Slush - France Pavillion
Animal Kingdom - Lamu Libation - Nomad Lounge
Hollywood Studios - California Sunset - Baseline Tap House
Magic Kingdom - N/A

Gurgling Suitcase - Turtle Krawl - Old Key West Resort
Victoria Falls - Barista Pinotage - Jambo House Animal Kingdom

Jock Lindsey's Hanger Bar - Reggie's Revenge - Disney Springs
Wine Bar George - All the wine- Simcic Rebula - Disney Springs
Enzo's Hideaway - Espresso Martini - Disney Springs

Favorite Location - Anywhere at Disney Springs overlooking the water. Jock's and the Boathouse Dock are 2 favorites

I'm not even going to get into my favs for Food and Wine which is so quickly approaching! It would take forever to post and read!

So there you have it, my current favorites. Hoping to find a new one or two during the J Squared trip! Let me hear your favorites and recommendations!

*please drink responsibly. hydrate. call a Minnie van. awesome awesome

I need to drink more. I've never had any of these! I'm so sheltered and innocent.... sarcastic

We tried the Joffrey's frozen cappuccino with a shot of Khalua and it was horrible. I think we had something from Hurricane Hannas on that was pretty good. We got it and sat on the beach outside the Beach Club at night. That was enjoyable and romantic!

I love the name of Jen's Tattoo but I wasn't crazy about the drink, I hate watermelon. The bartender was nice enough to give me a taste from one she made for another guest.

I have the CIder on my list at Baseline Tap House glad to hear it's your fav!!

I need to try the blackberry sake mist, I love the Violet Sake there too!!!

I had a drink at Homecomin but I don't remember what it was, I will have to go back and look....

I was so disappointed, they stopped serving my favorite drink in Animal Kingdom AND EPCOT (although I have others at EPCOT).
I loved the Sugar Cane Mojito at Tusker House, and the Tea Breeze at Joffreys in America outside the Americas Garden Theater. Oh well, time to find a new favorite. The Icefall outside Mt. Everest isn't bad, and I love the Gingerita in China.

OOOohhh! I'm adding some of these to my list for October. I'm really intrigued by the sound of the Blood Orange Cider at Baseline. I plan on doing my fair share of "mocktails" as well.

It was delish, I'm not a fan of beer but I do like some ciders...

I also LOVED the Godiva Chocolate Martini I thought it was just chocolate milk... dangerous

The Yellow Monorail at Top of the World WOW!!!

The excellent sangria at The Plaza

Pomegranate Margarita at Brown Derby

WOW, lots of new favorites this weekend......

It's soooooo good! I'm a big cider fan (not so much beer) and this is a must do for me at least once a trip now.

The sangria at The Plaza was really good. The Mowie Wowie at Tune In Lounge went down really easy.

Not familiar with Chinese Bai Jui Spirit From what I read it's 80-100 proof and tastes like crap LOL

ahhhh, I've been looking for a specific drink a friend of mine had and thought maybe I added it to a trip report at some point and came across this. After another J Squared week of debauchery I thought I would update this a bit.

Hollywood Studios - Floridian Collins at The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. If you want a good buzz but don't like the taste of alcohol, get this. Simply put, it tastes like lemon water. Yes, actual water. So easy drinking and packs a punch

Animal Kingdom -Ngumu Jungle Juice at Dawa Bar. It is made with POG juice. That is all I need to say

Epcot - Moonshine Sour at Regal Eagle's outside bar Whoa so refreshing on a hot Florida day.

Disney Springs - Lemon Drop Martini at Boathouse this is my go to martini and I've had a lot of them from a lot of places. This is by far the best one I've had AND you get a rock candy swizzle stick with it. And the Spiced Caramel Apple Martini at Raglan Road I think it was a holiday special but damn that thing was delish!

Resorts Topolino's TeRoCello our server described it as a breakfast margarita, of course I had to have it lol

And after all of these years, I STILL for the life of me can't figure out why my pics post sideways... Uggguh, sorry Mr Hub or someone if you can fix please.

New favorite lounge? Restaurantosaurus Lounge - yes, it's a thing. Apparently been there 2 years. And a great selection of specialty drinks!

What a fantastic update! Who wouldn't love a rock candy garnish, and the two lime Mickey ears are absolutely adorable. I didn't really do any drinking on my last trip so I love hearing about your debauchery. mickey muchlove
