Unique Cocktails

[plumsiren]

Looking for recommendations for must-try cocktails, specifically ones that you can't find anywhere else - I'm kind of overwhelmed, looking at all of these menus and being tempted by so much! But drink prices are steep (though not shocking for me; I do all my socializing in New York) so we only want the good stuff!

If you want to throw in ones you'd recommend skipping, I'd love to hear those too!

Can be at USF, IoA, CityWalk, or any of the resorts excluding Endless Summer.

Strong Water Bar in Sapphire Falls has the BEST bar in the whole of UOR. Their cocktails are original are ever evolving.

Choices for most folks in there, mostly rum based but they do other ones too., haven`t had anything in there we haven`t loved.

Margaritaville has the nicest Blackberry Margarita I have ever tasted. Any of their drinks are very, well drinkable......It`s 5 O`clock somewhere, Bahama Mama, Zombie, Planter`s Punch and Rum Runner are all highly recommended. They also do a Margarita Flight with 4 smaller options to try.

NBC has the Crimson Damson and The Berry Truth which were two of our favourites in there.

Vivo has the Allegro and they do a Moscow Mule that I asked them to change to a Rum Mule which they did, I prefer a rum based cocktail.

Cowfish has the Mango Ginger, again I changed the Tequila to rum, but it is lovely with Tequila too. Nice N Rosey, Bourbon Smash and Buffalos and Bacon are all lovely.

You`ll struggle to find a bad one usually.......

BigFire has a really good Smoked Maple old Fashion. Knob Creek Maple Bourbon, they smoke the glass and then garnish with beef jerky.

Toothsome has some really good chocolate cocktails including the Revolutionary Old Fashioned.

As PP said Strong Water has some amazing drinks as well as the best food in Universal IMO.
The Mai Tia is the 1944 Trader Vics style - not the fruit juice, grenadine and cheap dark rum you get at most places.

My daughter heard about an off the menu drink at the Hogshead in Hogsmeade - the Deathly Hallows, which was dark beer, light beer, and some kind of red beer, layered. That barman said he wasn't allowed to call it that, but could make it. I don't drink beer, but she enjoyed it!

They call it a triple. I prefer the Black Hog. That just doesn’t have cider. Yes if you Google Secret Drink Menu at Wizarding World you can see the different varieties. They also have like a little sheet of them they can show you if you ask.

The Ocean Attack from Chez Alcatraz at UO. They do a fun little thing when making it.
