This will be my fourth trip as an adult, and I like to drink on vacations. Mostly we stick to beer in the WS and whatever cocktails the TS Big Book has. This time I'm interested in trying new drinks.

AK we're eating at TH
WS eating dinners at Biergarden (we always share a giant beer) and Via Napoli. Lots of CS and walking around to try other drinks.
MK Dinners at CM and 1900 Park Fare
HS Sci Fi lunch.

Any drinks I should put on my list to try this trip?

Thanks!
 
If you're at MK, swing by the Poly at night. There is a nice bar by Ohanas that has this drink served inside a pineapple. It was very good I recall.
 
If you are going in December and you're not looking for suggestions that pertain only to the restaurants, Jock Lindsey's Hangar is scheduled to open sometime in the fall at Disney Springs and has an interesting looking lineup of beverages (although we don't have complete info on those yet)
 
For Animal Kingdom, Tusker House makes a mimosa using their signature jungle juice (or whatever they're calling it today) rather then orange juice. Just outside Tusker House, at the Dawa Bar, they have four custom Bloody Mary's they serve until I think 11 (so basically, only for two hours). I love those Blood Mary's: last time I was there, I had the African one (Snow Leopard Vodka, Loaded Bloody Mary Mix, and Spicy African Berbere Sauce, garnished with Berbere-rubbed Beef Jerky, Celery Stalk, Carrot, and Parsley) and it was sooo good. I'd like to try the Asian one. There are various cocktails scattered around at different booths in the park, but most of them are fairly light on the booze and not all that interesting.

Hollywood Studios, there's not many choices. As far as I remember, Sci Fi has no real drinks of interest. 50's Prime Time has a bar, though, and Brown Derby has a lounge. If you're in the mood for a drink, I'd stop at the second. They have a variety of classic cocktails, sometimes with slight twists, that are great. Then you have the little flights- three margaritas or three martinis in adorable little cups. Tasty, too, but adorable.

MK, basically, you don't have any real choice. ;) On the Monorail line, though, there's Trader Sam's (tough to get in to, but full of fantastic rum drinks and general quirky fun), Minzier's Lounge (GF's bar, has it's own bar menu of various nice drinks- could be worth a stop after or before dinner if the kids wouldn't mind), the Tambu Lounge's famous Lapu Lapu (served in the pineapple), and any bar at a signature resort.

Epcot? All sorts of choices. Try a margarita at La Cava, or do some tequila shots (or even a tequila flight). Try some sake in the back of the department store in Japan, or a sake flight in the small bar booth outside of it. Try a scotch flight over at the Rose and Crown. There's a wine passport that takes you to France, Italy and Germany and has you try two wines from each country- or you can just try individual wines. For more options, head back to Tutto Gusto in the back of the Italy pavilion for even more wine (some of it quite fancy), Italian beer, and some Italian cocktails (and some just odd ones- how about tomato vodka and dry vermouth?); they also have a really nice six wine flight that's good for sharing and is a decent taste of the regions of Italy. Lots of people like the Grey Goose slushies served in France; I'm not too fond of slushy drinks, but they're there. Beer? Check if the Unibroue are avaliable at the beer cart in Canada (or, really, anything but Moosehead and Labett); I'm not a beer fan, but apparently those are really good beers. Tipsy Ducks in Love at the tea cart in China is one of the strongest drinks in Epcot, and also my favorite. As for shots, Germany has Jagermeister and Apfel, while Norway has the lovely Aquevit. Really, as long as you avoid 'This country's equivalent of Budwiser' beers and 'The wine you can buy at liquor store for less then what glass at Epcot charges' (looking at you, Sutter Home), you can't go too wrong at Epcot.

Drink responsibly and all that, and have fun. :)
 

The above post has many many choices but dont' count out the Wave bar if you are looking for a drink near MK. And they open at lunchtime.

Thank you for all the great information!!! Last trip I mostly had Unibroue from the Canada cart. It was awesome! I'll definitely be expanding my list this trip.

(And we definitely will drink responsibly with 3 kids in tow. Luckily we have 3 Epcot days to spread it out.)

Try the Jalapeno margarita in Mexico at la cava

Thats called the Lapu Lapu and it is great. Also it packs a kick.
 
The Avocado Margarita at La Cava is very good.

Trader Sam's is new & hot at the Poly. Perfect place to check out some new drinks.

Hint - yes try it but you might not want to try it with guac that has peppers and queso that has peppers. It might be time for the ministry of silly walks when you try to get back to your room and the comfort of your own bathroom. Just saying.

To paraphrase an old comment "If it's too hot, you're too old!"
