Frozen Apple Pie (Non-alcoholic) – $3.75
This was one of our favorite non-alcoholic drinks of the day. There’s a great apple pie filling on top of the slush that’s quite tasty and refreshing. The only issue we had with this is that a straw wasn’t provided. Granted, Disney is trying to move away from single-use plastics, but the drink is already being served in one so what’s one straw going to hurt? We obtained spoons and were able to enjoy this offering properly, it’s utterly just too difficult to enjoy without a straw or spoon.
Tropical Mimosa with Sparkling Wine and Pomegranate, Orange and Grapefruit Juices – $6.00
As you can tell from the picture this one is rather pulpy. While there’s some good flavors going on this tasted too much like a basic orange juice + champagne mimosa to be anything really special. There’s better options at this booth.
Key Lime Mimosa with Key Lime Sparkling Wine and Cranberry Juice – $6.00
They’re using white cranberry juice in this mixture to keep the overall clear profile of the drink. This one is rather tart with a distinct key lime flavor that overpowers any of the potential cranberry taste. It tastes more like just the key lime sparkling wine that we’ve seen at past festivals which makes sense: it’s the same wine. $6.00 isn’t a bad price for the flute considering the Key Lime Sparkling Wine appeared for $11.75 this year at Flower & Garden Festival’s Florida Fresh booth.
Blood Orange Mimosa with Sparkling Wine and Blood Orange Juice – $6.00
Can you feel the pulp tonight… floating in your drink? There’s even more pulp in this one than the tropical mimosa, but this one works ten times better. The blood orange flavor is prominent and not overbearing, just tart enough to smack your lips together. Definitely the smartest option at the mimosa bar.
Madras Mimosa with Cranberry Sparkling Wine and Orange Juice – $6.00
This tasted more like the famous POG juice rather than a cranberry sparkling wine. We assume there’s alcohol in there but we didn’t really taste it behind the orange juice.
Frozen Mimosa featuring White Claw Lime Hard Seltzer – $6.00
We love White Claw! No really, the alcoholic hard seltzer is one of our favorite canned beverages here at WDWNT. Seeing the tasty seltzer used in a frozen beverage had us intrigued and made us believers on the first sip. Again, frozen drinks are rather difficult to drink without a straw, but you can easily sip across the wide brim. There’s a pungent lime flavor to the entire drink even though it’s a dark pink. The White Claw hard seltzer takes center stage here overpowering the flavor so that it literally tastes like a White Claw slushy. It’s good, albeit a little sweet. Well worth the $6 price tag.
