Here are a few Disney cocktail recipes and Disney-themed cocktail essentials we found that will bring some magic to your drinks!

Disney Cocktail Recipes

Krakatoa Punch From Disney World’s Trader Sams

Couldn’t snag a seat at the bar at Trader Sam’s this year? Not to worry! Disney shared the recipe for one of their signature drinks, the Krakatoa Punch, so you can try this one at home!

Krakatoa Punch

First, grab all of these ingredients

  • o.5 oz Almond Syrup
  • 3 oz Gorilla Grog (a Trader Sam’s specialty made of passion fruit, guava, pineapple, orange, lemon juices, and falernum, a syrup with tons of spices in it!)
  • 0.25 oz Hibiscus Grenadine
  • 1 oz Aged Rum
  • 1 oz Spiced Rum
  • Ice

Instructions

Mix it all in a shaker and strain it over ice! If you have a glow cube, you can really emulate the lava look like they do at Trader Sam’s!
