ULTIMATE Drink Around the World at EPCOT

One of the struggles I faced preparing to drink around the world at EPCOT was a lack of all-inclusive lists and recommendations. Every article I found listed (usually) a singular recommended drink in each country.
Without further ado, here is my effort at creating a more complete Drink Around the World EPCOT list!
In each country I'll start with the drink I chose then show the rest of the menu, prices in December 2024, and might describe some of the drinks others in my group had.
I'm going to start things off in Mexico and end in Canada (although, I would recommend doing this the other way around). Mexico has the strongest drinks, but Canada mostly closes its doors at 9pm. Mexico closes doors at 10:00pm.
~~~Quick Links~~~
~~~MEXICO~~~

My Drink: Dos Hombres Avocado
Drink Description: World famous avocado margarita now also made with Dos Hombres mezcal, melon-orange liquor, fresh avocado, lime juice, and hibiscus salt rim.
Drink Price: $19.50
Location: La Cava del Tequila
What's Up: This drink is one of my favorites at EPCOT. You may be thinking that avocado in a drink would be gross . . . But the smooth, creamy texture is akin to a milkshake and the other flavors compliment and really bring out the best in this drink. Several others in my party thought it would be gross, but after taking a sip of mine changed their minds!



~~~NORWAY~~~

My Drink: Frozen Viking Coffee
Drink Description: Bailey's Original Irish Cream Liqueur and Kamora Coffee Liqueur with coffee-chocolate sauce and garnished with coffee-chocolate crunch.
Drink Price: $16.00
Location: Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
What's Up: If you're not a fan of sweets, perhaps opt for a Nordic Draft Beer instead. This beverage is certainly sweet and chocolatey. All the more reason to do this at the end of the day when you might be craving something sweet to help end the long day vice first or second during your experience. Is it cold outside? Perhaps the hot Viking Coffee is more the vibe.

~~~CHINA~~~

My Drink: Honey Hibiscus Hard Iced Tea
Drink Description: Light Rum, Organic Hibiscus Tea (caffeine-free), Honey, with Blueberry Popping Boba.
Drink Price: $12.75
Location: Joy of Tea
What's Up: Adding Boba to cocktails? Sign me up! This stall really showcases popular asian drinks featuring varieties of tea in their cocktails with or without boba. I thought that this wasn't an overwhelmingly sweet cocktail - dare I say it felt healthier than many of the others on this journey? Our group's favorites were the Dragon Butterfly and Tipsy Ducks in Love. All cocktails pair well with a small snack of Pork Egg Rolls.

~~~GERMANY~~~

My Drink: Williams Pear Brandy
Drink Description: Crystal clear appearance and an aroma dominated by fresh pear scents.
Drink Price: $13.00
Location: Weinkeller
What's Up: If you don't want a beer or frozen cocktail from Sommerfest, find your way to the Weinkeller across the pavilion. Either way, there is plenty of beer and other drinks to go around. I've had the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen before and found it delightful. But if you're looking to try something unique , I would recommend the Weinkeller. The pear brandy wasn't my personal favorite, but it was less liquid - which was what I was looking for after drinking all day long.




~~~ITALY~~~

My Drink: Limoncello Spritzer
Drink Description: Limoncello, Prosecco, and Cherry Juice
Drink Price: $12.00
Location: Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar Cart
What's Up: Cheers! Probably not what you think of when you think of a Limoncello Spritzer (cherry juice) and not a favorite of the day among my group. There are several wines and some beers to choose from at this location as well. Additionally, you can find unique drinks at La Gelateria Toscana. Previously, I had gotten the Italian Margarita from there and it was delicious. If you're looking for a sit down meal with your drink, look to go into Tutto Gusto.


~~~UNITED STATES~~~

My Drink: Moonshine Sour
Drink Description: Ole Smokey Blackberry Moonshine, Blood Orange, Blackberry, and Lemon.
Drink Price: $16.50
Location: Regal Eagle Smokehouse stand
What's Up: I will forever be a Moonshine Sour Girlie. I think that this is hands down one of the best drinks in EPCOT. I'm sure the other drinks are great, too, I've just never had them from the American Pavilion. There's also another stand which sells alcoholic beverages called Block & Hans, but that's primarily beer.



~~~JAPAN~~~

My Drink: Blood Orange Sake Slushie
Drink Description: Blood Orange, Sake, Shaved Ice
Drink Price: $13.00
Location: Kabukicafe
What's Up: This stand is there year round. Last time we went to EPCOT, we popped in the Ramen restaurant at the top of the hill and had some warm Sake. Nigori Sake is the cloudier Sake in the picture above. Honestly can't go wrong with many of the drinks at this location. Look up for special, seasonal pop-up places in Japan as well as other countries as seen in one of the lower images.


~~~MOROCCO~~~

My Drink: House-made Sangria (White)
Drink Description: Unknown
Drink Price: $15.00
Location: Spice Road Table Bar
What's Up: Don't let the line out the door fool you at this location. Majority of people are here to be seated for dinner. In fact, there is often a second line inside the restaurant just in front of the bar where you can go to order a drink, without sitting down to eat. I always opt for the Sangria, a slightly sweeter, classic drink, but there are also varieties of wine from Spain, a handful of mimosas, and other spritzes or beer options reminiscent of the Mediterranean style.

~~~FRANCE~~~

My Drink: Orange Slushie
Drink Description: Grand Mariner, Rum, Grey Goose Orange, and Orange Juice.
Drink Price: $14.95
Location: Les Vins des Chefs de France
What's Up: If you associate wine with France, by all means, get yourself a glass of one of the delectable wines below; however, nothing beats a slushie on a hot summer (or in Florida's case, winter) day. This location offers plenty of variety. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants in France which showcase an even greater selection of wines if that's how you choose to check France off of your drink around the world list!

~~~UNITED KINGDOM~~~

My Drink: Cider and Fireball
Drink Description: Tullamore D.E.W. Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, and Strongbow Hard Cider topped with Ginger Ale
Drink Price: $15.50
Location: Rose & Crown
What's Up: Not my usual, but a good change from the sweet drinks I had been getting all day. A bit of Ginger Ale to sooth the stomach amiright? Rose & Crown offers a plethora of options as seen in the pictures below. My personal favorite from here is actually the Leaping Leprechaun. Honestly, you could spend the entire day drinking here and sit in their outdoor seating watching the evening fireworks as well.


~~~CANADA~~~

My Drink: Ottawa Apple
Drink Description: Canadian Whisky, Maple, Apple Infusion, and Cranberry Juice
Drink Price: $16.50
Location: Maple Popcorn Cart
What's Up: Best believe me when I tell you this is sweet. If sweet is not what you're in the mood for, Or gives you hangovers and headaches, then you should go for the Moosehead Lager or the Unibroue La Fin Du Monde Draft. Both of which are solid beers, per my colleagues. Maple popcorn as a snack could be good, but no matter where you start the drink around the world journey, staying away from too many sweets if you know they impact you is probably for the best. Besides, France is nearby and has places with cheese!

And there you have it! This has been a journey around the world at EPCOT. I'll be sure to update the blog post the next time I go. So far we're two times and counting, once in 2023 and once in 2024. Who knows when I'll make it back, next! The goal will always be to update existing information and add any missed drinks!
~As always, wishing you all the wanderlust~
