The second edition of the Witch & Poison Apple mug has arrived at Disney California Adventure for spooky season, and with it comes a seasonal Poison Apple-tini cocktail. Here’s our review!

Poison Apple-tini (with Witch & Poison Apple Mug) – $125

Crown Royal Apple Whisky, Pucker Sour Apple schnapps, cranberry juice, Angostura bitters, garnished with a Luxardo maraschino cherry

You smell apple right away, so it’s already delivering on the promised flavor profile. The drink itself is smooth with no real alcohol burn or bite, yet not overly sweet. The apple flavor is definitely more on the artificial side if that might bother you. The cranberry comes in as a strong second note, adding some tartness.

The Luxardo cherry gives it a bit of a medicinal note, but it works here, balancing the apple and cranberry. It’s a nice seasonal, solid cocktail, but not particularly impressive. If you like artificial apple flavor, you’ll enjoy this, but let’s be real: you’re ordering it for the mug.

Rating out of 7: 5

Now, here’s the reason for ordering the drink (and why the price is so high): the second-edition Witch and Poison Apple mug.

The first edition was released last year. It resembles a carved wood sculpture of the Evil Queen in her Old Hag form with a raven on her back. She holds out a poison apple cup, which is removable for use. Last year’s apple was red with white “poison,” while this year’s has green “poison.” A version of the mug with a green metallic apple was also released exclusively aboard the Disney Adventure cruise ship earlier this year.

Our reporter put a votive candle in the apple for reference to its capacity.

The mug is available with the drink while supplies last at Carthay Circle Lounge, which is located at the end of Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure. It’s open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. most days (to 5 p.m. on Oogie Boogie Bash dates) and reservations are recommended.
