Disneyland Resort has a new DOLE Whip float to celebrate DOLE Whip Day (July 16). The Hoa Aloha Float is available at The Tropical Hideaway.
Hoa Aloha Float – $9.99
DOLE Whip pineapple with cucumber lime agua fresca, chamoy, and candied kiwi
Most of the points for this treat come from the pineapple DOLE Whip. The chamoy was a lighter flavor than we anticipated and was a nice complement to the pineapple but was definitely over-powered by it.
The cucumber flavor is strong when you get to it, so you have to like cucumber in order for this treat to be worth a purchase. The lime is subtle—more of an aftertaste than anything. We were not a fan of the candied kiwis and thought they didn’t really match the taste or texture of the rest of the dish. It felt like an odd choice, other than the color match.
This isn’t bad, but it’s not a must get and something we wouldn’t get again. The traditional floats or even just a classic DOLE Whip are better choices. However, if you love cucumber or cucumber lime, you would enjoy this combination, as the pineapple is a solid base to make those flavors shine.
