Best Adult Beverage

[HatboxGhoul]

What's the best adult beverage you've had? Doesn't matter where just curious what everyone has found is the best.

Be it presentation, flavor, location/ambiance or a combination.

Trader Sam's Hippopotamaitai with the souvenir glass. Still around the $20 mark with the glass. Good cocktail with decent liquor pour. Fun glass that does double duty at home as a pen cup or remote holder. ps desperately wish Trader Sam's would introduce 1 new cocktail w souvenir glass each year. Would love to have something new & fresh to play with.

My husband and I had the Lapu Lapu at Tambu at the Poly. I'm not really a sweet drink person - but I loved it. I did feel a little bad because it is kind of a waste of a pineapple !!

We really enjoy the tequila cave in Mexico

I am a big fan of the Tipsy Ducks in Love at the Joy of Tea cart in China at Epcot. Yummy, also a good pour of bourbon, tastes chocolate!

Looking forward to trying a Hippopatamaitai in October!

Avocado margarita in La Cava del Tequila (you can get it to go)

There are tons of threads on this so just go through all the recs. Lots of great ones out there. Drink up and cheers!

O agree with two of the previous posters - anything at La Cava del Tequila. We happened to get lucky and were there a few days after it opened when it was not too crowded - so that may be skewing my memory.

I love the Sugar Cane Mojito in AK... hope it's still there...

In addition the Hippopotamaitai, I also really like the Krakatoa Punch!

Plus another vote for anything from La Cava.

And I would like to add AbracadaBar to the list, it is a really fun lounge. I enjoyed the Coney Negroni & the Magic Hattan.

Next to Trader Sam's, I'd say Nomad Lounge has the best drink menu in all of WDW. Also an absolutely beautiful space. The best in-park bar.

I love the drinks at Nomad Lounge and Abracadabar. They're a couple of the few places on property that have unique drinks that are freshly mixed and aren't all super sweet.

My husband still raves about the sidecar he had at Yachtsman.

Jalapeño margarita from LaCava. Delicious, it makes your lips tingle and provides the rest of you with a pleasant buzz.

Yep, I just had one in May! I'm a sucker for a good mojito. Bongos has great classic mojitos, but one of my favorites was the African Starr mojito at Sanaa. It was made with Starr African rum and tangerine liqueur. Soooo good!

Sadly, Dawa is no longer serving their signature bloody marys in case anyone goes looking. They have a standard one, which is quite spicy and served with candied bacon and celery and carrot sticks. I love spice so I thought it was very tasty.

On my trip in May I tried the tipsy ducks and really liked it. I also had the Lapu Lapu at the Poly, Maelstrom margarita at La Cava (really good, and I'm not the biggest tequila fan) and the Cider and Fireball at Rose and Crown, which I LOVED. (Irish whisky, fireball and Strongbow topped with ginger ale)

It's split between the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Rum at Trader Sam's and the Pago Pago Painkiller at the Oasis Bar.

Avocado Margarita at La Cava, Captain Handsome at Paddlefish, and Frose at STK Brunch are close seconds.

Cucumber Margarita at La Cava and Mizner's Cooler at Mizner's Lounge and the Cucumber Cooler at Homecoming are my favorites. They're all very refreshing and not too sweet, which is what I often find in WDW drinks.

My husband loved the Whiskey cocktail at Raglan Road (I had a sip and it was really good) but I'm not a big whiskey fan.

I will tell you what is NOT the best - the Mango Gingerita in China/World Showcase. Horrid. Even the alcoholics in my group couldn't do more than 1 sip. How it stays on the menu? Barf.

AbracadaBar - anything for kids to nosh/drink in there? Or is it a pretty "adults only" vibe?

Not much to eat at all. Seems more geared for adults, but they did have a couple fun non-alcoholic beverages on the menu that kids would love... I think one had cotton candy. We were there late afternoon/pre-dinner and the asmosphere was very tame... not sure what happens later in the evening.
