A new Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary tiki cup has arrived at The Watering Hole at Islands of Adventure. Today, we bought it and tried their new Nublar Libre drink.
Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Tiki Cup with Nublar Libre Drink – $17.50
Chairman’s Reserved Spiced Rum, Lime and Grapefruit Juices, Vanilla Bean, Passion Fruit Purée, Cinnamon Syrup, Topped with Colombiana Soda
We found this cup at The Watering Hole at Islands of Adventure. Although there are four new drinks on the menu, we tried the Nublar Libre this time.
This little stand in Jurassic Park serves up mixed cocktails and frozen drinks.
The other new drinks include Cape Guayaba, Cucumber Basil Colada, and the Zombie.
The cup reminds us of a Tiki-style cup and features many of the different dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, including the Velociraptor and the T-Rex. Although it looks like it’s made of bamboo or wood, it is actually just plastic. The top and bottom of the cup are lined with triangles.
When you bring the cup back, you get $2 off the new drinks on the menu and $4 off the older drinks on the menu.
The Nublar Libre drink was described to us as a more “rugged” drink, without any garnish. We found it to be very strong and potent, however, it was delightfully smooth and easy to drink.
Upon our first sip, we tasted the rum right away, along with a bit of vanilla, and some hints of citrus. It also has a slight cinnamon finish, which usually is a bit much in some drinks, but was expertly mixed into this drink.
The passion fruit helps keep the drink sweet, without being over the top. The vanilla is one of the more prominent flavors in the drink. We found it to be subtle and distinct at the same time.
Overall, we highly recommend this drink. Not only is the drink good, but it also comes with this souvenir cup.
All of the drinks from The Watering Hole are made when you order, so they are always high quality and fresh. They do not pre mix the batches.
The Watering Hole also has gluten-free cocktail options, though they do not come with the Jurassic Park souvenir cup.
This tiki cup is also available in Universal Studios Hollywood at the Isla Nu Bar, just outside of Jurassic World — The Ride. Go check out our review
