Looking for a magical martini? Disney chain's cocktail bars capture prize as nation's best

Mickey Mouse is getting a reputation for mixing great cocktails.

Walt Disney World runs America's best chain of cocktail bars, according to Cheers magazine, which also called Walt Disney World's signature libation a "dream-like" martini.

The trade magazine for full-service restaurants and bars said the company's usual attention to themed detail and operational efficiency has made the resort the nation's "Best Chain Overall Beverage Program."

Disney's "Blue 'Glow-Tini'," won the magazine's "Best Chain Signature Drink" prize.

Cheers touts its annual awards as the industry's top honors. Winners were selected by peer judges, and prizes were presented in late January, though Disney World waited until late last week to note its wins.

Cheers writes that Disney's cocktail business "delivers a little Disney magic in every glass." In this case the magic is not produced by pixie dust, Disney said in its press release.

The resort overhauled its alcoholic drinks and standardized its cocktail menu in late 2006 as part of the "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion.

"That joy and fun carries over to our beverage menu," said spokeswoman Andrea Finger.

Go a little light on the pinapple juice, or your Blue Gowtini will end up brown!
