Drinking With A Disney Flare

Although we would rather be drinking around the World Showcase, that is just not possible at the moment. So we thought we’d share some of our favorites with you to try at home. We enlisted some help from some of our very special Disney friends for this one. We asked them to share their favorite Disney copycat drink recipes or their favorite drink recipe to which they added a Disney flare. And, BOY, did they deliver!

These are all fairly easy to make and MOST can be done WITH or WITHOUT alcohol. Which alcohol to use? Rum is a personal favorite and goes with all fruity drinks. That is just the pirate in me talking. ARRRRHHHH me maties!

Peter Pan Punch

This one is my personal favorite and is SO easy! I will tell you that you may want to double or triple this recipe. It “flies” just like Peter Pan. Let the sherbet sit out a bit to thaw, place in your favorite punch bowl and add the ginger ale! Voila!

• One container of lime sherbet
• One-two liter bottle of ginger ale
• lime wedges to garnish

Copycat POG Juice

This delicious copycat recipe came from Carrie M. We are so happy she shared her POG recipe with us. This one is also known as “Jungle Juice” at Animal Kingdom’s Tusker House restaurant.

• Passion fruit juice-2 cups
• Orange juice-2 cups
• Guava juice (usually found in a can)-2 cups

Mix together and CHILL. Add a little champagne for a mimosa style beverage.

Copycat Le Cellier’s Ottawa Apple Cocktail

Paten and Hunter W. LOVE to sip on one of their favorite drinks from Canada. Paten says to dip the rim of the glass in sugar and garnish with a thin green apple slice for the full effect, of course. YUMMY!

• Maple Whiskey (sometimes they use honey whiskey if the maple whiskey is not available).
• Ocean Spray Cran-apple juice

Batuu’s Blue Milk

This is NOT the official copycat recipe. This is the way I make the BLUE MILK from Batuu-I was making this LONG before the “copycat recipe” came out! LOL! Stir the milk, sugar and vanilla together until the sugar is dissolved, then add the food coloring. Refrigerate until ready to use! Star Wars fans from WAY back know this recipe! Double or triple recipe for a larger crowd. This makes about one large glass of blue milk.

• 1-1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Blue food color

Copycat Celtic Twilight (Disney Cruise Line)

Thanks to Lakin B. for sharing her favorite Disney Cruise cocktail! A Celtic Twilight looks absolute delish! Build “over the rocks” and garnish with an orange slice.

• 1 1/2 ounces John Jameson Irish Whiskey
• 3/4 ounce Pernod Anise
• 1 ounce Noilly Prat Vermouth
• Dash of Angostura Bitters

The Classic Dole Whip

Don’t forget about Mandi’s classic Dole Whip. Click the link for an easy copycat recipe. Here is another recipe for a slightly different version of the famous “whip”. Place all the ingredients in the blender and blend away! Don’t forget to add, oh never mind, you don’t need to add anything to a DOLE WHIP! Just enjoy.

• 2 scoop of vanilla ice cream
• 8 ounces of pineapple juice
• 4 cups of frozen pineapple

You can half or double this recipe. If you double it, you better get a bigger blender. Also, if you prefer your Dole Whip not so whipped (more liquefied), use canned pineapple instead of frozen.

Again, where is the rum?

Disney Dole Whip Recipe

It’s no secret that Disney’s Dole Whip is my all time favorite Disney snack. According to our readers, it’s A LOT of y’all’s favorite too! In fact, it was no surprise that it was number ONE on our list recently. Check it out, right here: 20 Snacks You Can’t Miss in Disney World.

For years, Disney fans like myself have tried to replicate the deliciousness that is Disney Dole Whip.

This sweet and tart, creamy pineapple ice cream is an essential snack on any Disney vacation – and it’s the first thing I start to crave after I haven’t been at the parks in a few months. It’s the perfect treat to cool down in the Florida heat… but who am I kidding? This Dole Whip tastes great at any time of year.

Disney finally shared the official recipe – so we’ve scraped our original attempt (which wasn’t quite perfect) and have now replaced it with this perfect copycat.

“Whip” up a batch of this delicious goodness and share with the family. Or, DON’T share! It’s totally up to you!

Disney World Dole Whips

Disney Dole Whips are less than $5 at the parks and are also available to purchase using a snack credit if you’re using the Disney Dining Plan.

There are several locations around Disney World to find a Dole Whip. One of our favorite spots is in the Magic Kingdom at Aloha Isle. Another favorite spot is at Disney’s Polynesian Resort at their very own Pineapple Lanai where you can also opt for the a pineapple-vanilla twist (my daughter’s favorite) or get a shot of rum added to your whip.

I also really love the Dole Whip Float, which is a Dole Whip added to a glass of pineapple juice. It sounds like a very basic addition but I LOVE this upgrade.

Disney Dole Whip Ingredients

• 2 cups Frozen Pineapple
• ½ cup Pineapple Juice
• Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream

How to Make Disney Dole Whips

1. Blend ingredients until pineapple chunks are completely broken down.
2. Scoop dole whip mixture into prepared piping bag.
3. Swirl the mixture into your serving cups.
4. Garnish and enjoy immediately.

Yield: 1 serving
