Doesn’t a refreshingly cold and fruity drink sound like a fantastic idea after a day of having fun in a Walt Disney World park? Whether you order one in a fancy souvenir glass, with a glowing ice cube, or with a tropical skewer of fruit, it’s a sweet way to celebrate your vacation. Virtually all of the restaurants in Walt Disney World offer these fruity concoctions, both in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties. Better yet, ordering a drink by your resort pool bar and relaxing on a lounge chair is a great way to beat the heat. Don’t forget to check out the kiosks around the World Showcase in Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom for more great tropical beverages. If you’re having a hard time deciding which one to sip first, check out my list of the top fruity drinks I consider well worth the cash and calories.

1. Yak Attack
Trek over to the Yak & Yeti Restaurant in the Asia section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a perfect drink to relax with after your adventures. It’s a tasty and refreshing blend of wildberry, mango daiquiri, and rum, and it’s always on my must-have list when I’m in this park!
2. Orange Slush
While you’re strolling through the World Showcase in Epcot, stop at Les Vines des Chefs de France kiosk for a perennial favorite. Consisting of rum, Grey Goose Orange, orange juice, and Grand Marnier, this frozen drink is a strong but great way to beat the heat on a warm day. A sister drink to the Orange Slush is the Citron, a lemon version that includes vodka, lemonade, and Grey Goose Citron.
3. Violet Lemonade
If you’re visiting Epcot during the International Flower and Garden Festival in the spring, you’re missing out if you don’t stop by the Pineapple Promenade for a glass of the Violet Lemonade. Not only is the prettiest shade of purple, but this delicious nonalcoholic drink is so popular that Epcot has started selling violet lemonade merchandise!

4. Margaritas
Head over to the Mexico pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase for a classic frozen and fruity drink, the margarita. At the Choza de Margarita stand, you can choose from a lime, strawberry, or mango- flavored beverage. Can’t decide? Get the Fiesta margarita, a sweet version of all three flavors! If you’re not in the mood for a frozen drink, “on-the-rocks” margaritas are on the menu as well.
5. Tikiti Punch
Pull up a stool at the Dawa Bar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and order the Tikiti Punch. This refreshing blend of watermelon lemonade and Snow Leopard vodka hits the spot during a warm afternoon in the Florida sun.
6. Nautilus
All of the drinks at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto are fun to say and delicious to drink, but my personal favorite is the Nautilus. It’s a sweet concoction of tropical fruit juices, rum, Combier Crème de Pêche de Vigne Liqueur, and Falernum. Better yet, you get to keep the cute souvenir Nautilus container it comes in.
7. Dole Float
Is it a dessert or a drink? No matter what you call it, it’s a non-alcoholic fan favorite for pineapple lovers! Available at the Aloha Isle at the Magic Kingdom, creamy pineapple soft serve ice cream is complemented with fresh pineapple juice. Whether you drink it with a straw or eat it with a spoon, just don’t pass it up!
8. Dad’s Electric Lemonade
Drop by the Tune-In Lounge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and enjoy Dad’s Electric Lemonade in air-conditioned comfort. This a refreshing drink made with Blue Curacao, sweet-and sour, vodka, and sprite. Add a souvenir glow cube and you’re on the way to relaxation!
9. Mo’ara Margarita
Trek over to Pandora-the World of Avatar, and order this exotic beverage from Pongu Pongu. It’s sweet blend of tequila, strawberry, and blood orange, plus the tasty boba balls on top. No visit to Pandora is complete without trying this “out-of-this world” drink!
