The Menu

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s check out this new drink.

Drinks

This year you’ll find a special Food & Wine Festival drink at the popcorn cart — the Northern Ruby. This drink is made with Rhubarb Liqueur, Vodka, Strawberry, Ginger, and lime, and it’s priced at $17.50

Northern Ruby

This drink was delicious!  The sweetness from the strawberry and the tartness from rhubarb paired together perfectly, while the ginger and lime cut the flavors well, giving a little kick. Overall, it was refreshing without being overpoweringly sweet, making it perfect for a hot day.

OVERALL

The Northern Ruby was one of our favorite drinks at this year’s Food & Wine Festival. In fact, we wouldn’t mind this perfect mixture of sweetness and tartness becoming a full-time EPCOT beverage offering!

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
