Guava Cake with Whipped Cream and Coconut – $5.00

Guava Cake with Whipped Cream and Coconut – $5.00

This is a very tart, powerful guava cake. The guava flavor is a little bit too strong for our liking, and a little bit too sweet, but we don’t completely dislike it. At least the cake is moist. It’s done really well, even if it’s not for everyone.

Tropical Mimosa: Sparkling Wine and Minute Maid Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava Juices – $7.00

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 and champagne mimosa to be anything really special. There’s better options at this booth.

Berry Mimosa: La Gioiosa Berry Fizz ($16/bottle) and White Cranberry Juice – $7.00

Berry Mimosa: La Gioiosa Berry Fizz ($16/bottle) and White Cranberry Juice – $7.00

This tastes like basic sparkling red wine. It’s refreshing and crisp. The crispness softens the red wine flavor a bit. Overall, we enjoyed it.

Blood Orange Mimosa: Sparkling Wine and Blood Orange Juice – $7.00

Epcot Food and Wine 2018 Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar
Blood Orange Mimosa: Sparkling Wine and Blood Orange Juice – $7.00

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.

*NEW* Fruited Sour Beer and Sparkling Wine Cocktail: Brewery Ommegang Dream Patch Fruited Sour (6.5% ABV) with Cherry, Blueberry and Raspberry, and Sparkling Wine – $9.00

A tall, clear flute glass filled with sparkling pink champagne from the Shimmering Sips collection sits on a light surface. The background is slightly blurred.
Fruited Sour Beer and Sparkling Wine Cocktail: Brewery Ommegang Dream Patch Fruited Sour (6.5% ABV) with Cherry, Blueberry and Raspberry, and Sparkling Wine – $9.00

Dry by design, it’s just meh. There’s so much going on that it numbed our senses. There’s no aftertaste, which is good, but it’s hard to recommend this. We’d call this sparkling wine and heartburn since it gave us instant heartburn. That being said, there is an audience for this.
