Today, at the brand new Swirls on the Water location at Disney Springs, we got a chance to try a DOLE Whip Flight, DOLE Whip Nachos, and a Sangria Float.
Dole Whip Flight – $6.49
Tasty treat featuring 3 of our DOLE Whip flavors
The flight is great for someone who wants options or to try something new.
The pineapple and vanilla swirl is your classic pineapple DOLE Whip and vanilla soft serve. You can’t go wrong with this combo!
The sweetness of the pineapple pairs well with the smoothness of the vanilla. This one is served with a pineapple wedge.
The lemon and cookie dough flavor work together surprisingly well. We reviewed this flavor combination in the Celebration Cone here.
This one has a sugar cookie Mickey on top. The cookie is cute but nothing special.
The habanero is another interesting flavor. Combined with lime DOLE Whip, it’s sweet with some heat. It’s also topped with tajin spice and a lime.
The spice level is manageable and the lime cuts it with a welcome hint of tart. The tajin gives you an extra kick.
The price is crazy good for what you get, but eat them fast because it gets messy!
DOLE Whip Habanero Lime Nachos – $8.99
Waffle cone chips topped with DOLE Whip Lime and Habanero soft-serve, mango boba pearls, spice, raspberry sauce and whipped cream
The waffle cone is chewy but tasty. Ours was either stale or not cooked all the way.
The chips didn’t break in the center, but the edges are crisp on some of them.
The center is the lime and habanero DOLE Whip flavors twisted together (see above under DOLE Whip Flight) with whipped cream.
It’s topped with raspberry sauce, which counters the spicy sweetness of the soft serve.
The boba pearls are the juice-filled kind that pop when you bite into them, and the mango flavor comes through for sure.
Overall, the spice and sweet balance here for a good mix if want to test the waters with something a little spicy.
Sangria Float – $10.99
DOLE Whip Pineapple served over a Red Wine Sangria
The pineapple is almost too sweet for the flavor profile of the red sangria. The pineapple imparts a weird tart aftertaste that’s almost sour.
They are both fine on their own. The sangria by itself is just a regular sangria, but you can definitely taste the wine, so it’s not watered down.
There are pineapple pieces in the sangria as well, but I’m not sure it’s doing the drink any favors.
With the DOLE Whip floating on top, as soon as it starts to melt, it causes the cup to run over.
It’s not terrible, but every so often you get hits of pineapple flavor. We are not really sure how we feel about it.
We think we’d prefer to have these two treats on their own rather than combined together.
Which of these are you eager to try? Let us know in the comments.

I bet the sangria float would taste better with a peach or white wine sangria instead. I’d definitely be down for the float sampler though!
Are any dairy free?
