On our upcoming trip my friends and I are skipping dining reservations at Epcot and instead planning to wander the World Showcase and have a snack or drink at each country. The only things we've settled on as must-dos are tequila flights in Mexico and confections from the pastry shop in France. I would love some recommendations to guide us to the tastiest treats in the rest of the countries, so please share your snack/drink recommendations!

This question is asked so frequently, I really just need to make a master list and just copy and paste. I always end up having to write it all out again. You'd think I would have learned, eh?

Mexico: La Cava has several fancy margaritas - the pineapple and blood orange are my favorite. Also, churros and caramel from the outside CS.

Norway: sweet pretzel or school bread from Kringla, and baileys with coffee.

China: we always get tipsy ducks in love (be aware, it's pretty strong) or a peach snap, and some egg rolls from the tea cart outside.

Germany: my husband is German, so he always wants a brat and a beer. I go to Karamel Kuche and buy literally everything. You can't go wrong - everything they make is good.

Italy: we always do prosecco or wine and some gelato from the cart out front. Most of Italy's great food is TS so just take in the sights and enjoy some wine.

American Adventure: Frozen red stag lemonade! Or a beer. Whatever works, lol. Turkey legs and jalapeño pretzels are good quick fare, here.

Japan: so many good things here. There's a cart out front with cocktails, or you can get some sake. We sometimes do both, lol. Katsura grill has my chicken cutlet Katsu curry. Also, Japanese shaved ice is a must do for us.

Morocco: we do the spiced wine here, and baklava. If we're feeling peckish enough, we split a platter from Tangeriene Cafe. So good!

France: grey goose lemon slushie, ham/cheese/bechamel croissant and lobster bisque from Les Halle's. We know this place well and have tried everything, but those have proven to be our favorites. Next!

UK: welsh dragon or a Black and Tan from the pub. Scotch eggs or fish and chips. I always get a Crunchie bar (Cadbury, it will change your world) and some tea from the tea shop as well.

Canada: one of these days they'll get smart and do a QS that sells poutine. Until then, grab a beer here, lol.

Drink water and share drinks/food. Have fun!

Wow, great list! Thank you!
 

I agree with the list that has been given. It will all be opinions, but the wine at Italy, France, and Germany are all good as well. The pretzels from Germany are great. I always start my vacation off by having a half and half at Rose and Crown.
 
Pot stickers at Lotus Blossom in China. You can share with the snack. I would advise against the wine there because, well, I don't like it so I just get the stickers with a beer from Norway. But, you can get the stickers "to go" as you can take the plate with you and continue on.
 
IMO you are definitely right in keeping France Bakery on your list - Les Halles is so yummy!
Germany - love all things from Karamelle Kuche (especially caramel and shortbread square).
I know it's not in the world showcase, but the popcorn (buffalo chicken with blue cheese, cheddar and sour cream flavours) from Future World is worth a stop/ detour if you like popcorn - sooooo good! It's between Soarin' and Figment I believe.

I like hearing opinions! :) What's a half and half?

Great tip about the popcorn, thanks! I love popcorn.
 
As someone who literally spent a year in Epcot, here are my favorites & hidden gems:

Canada: Beer cart, take the plunge & get the La Fin Du Monde (its a triple styled golden with hints of citrus, similar to a blue moon but way better and it's 9%) OR if it's fall season, get the Pumpkin Ale, best I've ever had. They only sell popcorn but if you head up to the gift shop they'll be able to find some soft maple sugar candies, in the shape of a maple leaf and they are to die for.

UK: Rose & Crown; cocktail: Welsh Dragon, sweet, pineappley, and bright green, it's delicious. Also a great place for a beer, or combo drink. Take a look over the menu, I like the cider with blackcurrant juice, can't remember what it's called. Not a lot of snack options here, but you could easily grab a candy bar from the merch shops.

France: Grab a slush drink from the stand & any treat from inside the bakery, they're all amazing.

Morocco: I usually go for sangria inside Spice Road table here. Also a great spot to grab a quick service pita platter or something and split between everyone.

Japan: Green Tea colada inside the little sake stand in the middle of the pavillion, or they have some sparkaling sake in the sake store in the very back that are my go to's. There's sushi or you can grab a side of something from the QS

US:
Any kind of beer, a lot of it changes seasonally, but I like the hopageddon, which is very simliar to the fin du monde but more bitter. Stop and watch American Music Machine while you're here.

Italy:
Head to Tutto Gusto wine bar for an espresso martini & any kind of snack/appy off the menu. Or head to the wine shop on the front left for a glass of rose regal, a sweet sparkaling red wine.

Germany:
Literally anything from the caramel shop, then head all the way through the shops to the wine shop in the back to grab a cheese plate & wine flight. Alternatively, grab a grapefruit beer from the outdoor stands (this is also a HUGELY GREAT decision if you're feeling it, these are only 2% and can pace you better)

Outpost:
Get a water. Seriously. Also if you like amber beer's you can get a safari amber here, delicious.

China:
I usually skip China for drinks, I still haven't found anything I like. For food though they've got TONS of great plates for sharing, and the chicken fried rice is a HUGE portion, and if you started in canada you probably need it by now. Watch the chinese acrobats while you eat!

Norway:
Grab a treat from the bakery. I also usually get a viking coffee. People talk about the viking shot like it's deadly but it's one of the easiest shots I've ever taken.

Mexico:
I usually grab food from the QS place, even if it's just nachos. If you want a standard margarita, get the fiesta one from the other outside stand. Head inside for an avocado margarita or a cucumber margarita.

Finally if you're around Epcot, head over to "Taste Track" a little food truck over by Test Track that has gourmet grilled cheeses that are delicious! It closes at 4 or 5 though so be careful.

**ALSO, tips if you do plan on actually "drinking around the world" PACE yourself, it's fun to get drunk but it's super embarrassing to be that wasted when families and children are around, and the sober people hate you. Do multiple loops around the showcase and get a drink in every second country (this option also allows a more convent stop at that grilled cheese cart ;) )***
