Best Drinks at the 2025 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

There’s more than just food at the 2025 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. If you’re spending a few days at Disney World and making a tour of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchens, there’s some pretty yummy stuff to drink too! We tried almost all the cocktails and mocktails this year so that you don’t have to gamble with your Festival budget, and you’ll find our list divided into three sections. That’s the ones we recommend, things that weren’t our favorites but might be right for you, and the things we think that nobody should drink. Many are available in both high-test and non-alcoholic versions.

What should you expect to pay? Most cocktails are in the $11-14 range. On the other end, the non-alcoholic drinks are usually marked between $4.75 and $6.25. All of them except the Mango Bubble Tea can be purchased with DDP Snack Credits too, unless they’re in a souvenir cup.

Recommended Flower & Garden Festival Drinks

We’ve put these 11 beverages in a sort-of-sensible order if you want to do a mini Drink Around The World at the 2025 Flower & Garden Festival. It’s roughly a loop, so you can start at either end (Florida Fresh or The Citrus Blossom), or anywhere in the middle if you choose.

Orange Lemon Smoothie | $15.00 or DDP

This citrusy smoothie from the Citrus Blossom is sweet, but not too much so — a refreshing and fun option. The sipper is very cute but if you are anti-sipper (or just low on luggage space) know that in past years we have been able to get it in a cup just by asking, and with a discount on the price too.

Key Lime Wine Slushy | $13.00

Exactly what you’re hoping for in a festival slushy — light, refreshing, and blended to perfection. The key lime flavor is bright, and the key lime color is beautiful too. Perfect for a hot day even if you finish it before leaving the air-conditioned Odyssey building.

Tropical Punch | $4.75 / DDP (non-alcoholic) or $11.50 with rum

This punch is a winner! The herbal tea base elevates everything – it’s much more refreshing than a standard fruit punch, and the mocktail version is perfect for a hot day. The rum doesn’t hurt it any, but there’s an asterisk. The rum cocktail at Magnolia Terrace is about twice the size and not too different, so it’s hard to recommend this in the face of that.

Dragon Dynasty | $14.75

China’s kitchen changed names this year, but this pink drink from Lan Yuan is light, refreshing, and absolutely gorgeous. The flavor reads as coconut-based and it’s a lovely, tropical option – perfect for a hot festival day.

Spiced Rum Cocktail | $12.50

This punch from Magnolia Terrace is well-mixed with a generous pour of rum, making it a solid choice if you’re looking for something strong and refreshing. It’s a solid size too; you may recall we mentioned that it’s almost twice the size of the similar drink at Trowel & Trellis. But unlike that one, this menu doesn’t include a mocktail version.

Frozen Mojito | $13.00

It’s spendy as all the cocktails are (somehow it feels worse when the mix is simple) but this was fantastic. We love a rum drink and this Refreshment Port cup was a highlight for us. It also happened to be nice with the poutine.

Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade | $5.00

If you’ve been to Flower & Garden before, you knew this would be here, right? It’s the signature drink of the festival for good reason! The perfect balance of tart and sweet, the vibrant purple color, the pairing with an edible flower garnish – it’s almost too pretty to drink. Almost.

Honey-Peach Cobbler Freeze | $5.00 / DDP (non-alcoholic) or $13.00 with blueberry vodka

It’s light and floofy, and not as cloying as you might think from the description. You might taste more dairy than fruit but this is a solid smoothie. We didn’t try it with the vodka this year, but we’ve had it in other years and it lightens up the mix a bit without changing the flavor much.

Yacht Grub Sparkling Cocktail Flight | $14.50

We’ve enjoyed everything we tried at the brand-new Yacht Grub this year, and its drinks are no exception. These sparkling cocktails all are sparkling wine and club soda with a flavored mixer: the Lemon has Limoncello, the Orange is made with Aperol Aperitivo, and the Elderflower has St.-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. We can recommend any of these three, but why choose? We say, just get the sampler.

Tropical Smoothie | $6.25

We love this Land Cart smoothie so much! It’s a big cup, garnished like a star, and it has a sweet and fruity flavor. The only thing that could make this drink better is if you were holding it on a beach.

Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy | $5.00 / DDP (non-alcoholic) or $13.00 with gin

The PG version is simple and sweet. The cucumber broadens the flavor profile a bit, and with a garnish of fresh watermelon, we loved it. It’s also offered with gin but doesn’t need it at all.

It’s Your Call Flower & Garden Drinks

All those compliments we gave the drinks in the previous section? The next few come with caveats. Some people are going to think these are wonderful, but honesty compels us to say “if you like … ” or something similar about each of them.

Mango Bubble Tea | $7.75

This is the only non-alcoholic drink on our roster that you can’t buy with a Disney Dining Plan Snack Credit, and it’s the most expensive too. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this drink if you’re looking for something cool and refreshing. It’s just that it’s not any better than you can get in your neighborhood mall food court. So unless you’re in the mood, you can do better for your dollars at the Festival.

Kyoto Boba | $6.75

Kyoho is a pretty unusual flavor and there’s not much blended with it here. We enjoy it, but we can definitely see how others might not. For the price and the size (pretty tiny), we’d skip this unless you know that you’re a Kyoho fan.

Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail | $12.00

This has the potential to be great, but it’s down here in the “your call” section because it was a heavy pour on the first day. A must be thoroughly stirred if you don’t want a mouthful of straight gin kind of heavy. It could be something that will be adjusted, but also this drink has been here in other years. If we go back later and it’s improved we’ll move it up, but in the meantime, try with caution.

Fruit Cereal Shake | $5.00

This drink (which was the Froot Loops Shake in previous years) sounds like a brilliant nostalgic treat … until you start drinking it. Unfortunately, it’s very sweet. We always love the first sip, and none of us can make it to the last one. It’s a fun concept, but the execution misses the mark unless you are a sugar-cereal addict.

Coconut Water | $4.00 / DDP (non-alcoholic) or $11.50 with gin

Like the mango bubble tea in China, there is nothing wrong with this Beach Grub Coconut Water. Except that … it’s just plain old coconut water. Did you really come to the Flower & Garden Festival to drink $4 coconut water? If so, have at it and enjoy! But don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Citrus Slushy | $4.75 / DDP (non-alcoholic) or $12.00

Pucker up! You must love grapefruit for this one, which makes it not quite as kid-friendly as some of the other non-alcoholic options. But if you are a fan of tart, it’s a good option – with or without the rum.

Pomegranate Mimosa | $11.50

When it’s only juice and fizz, you’d better get the balance right – and this Pomegranate Mimosa from Tangierine Cafe didn’t do it. If you like pomegranate juice, you’ll enjoy this, but it doesn’t taste like anything else is in the glass.

Really, Just Don’t Flower & Garden Drinks

Caprese Cocktail | $16.00

Why does it feel like everything in Italy starts with “Oh, Italy” <sad-face emoji>? Unfortunately, this drink was as disappointing as the rest of the Italy booth. It tasted overwhelmingly like straight tomato juice, with no hint of balsamic, basil, or vodka.

Peach Bellini | $11.50

We had high hopes for this, but it fell a bit short. Again, with only two components it’s about balance – and there’s just not enough peach puree to balance the drink. Definitely underwhelming.

Oaxacan Sweetheart | $14.75

This drink had so much potential, but unfortunately, all the flavor was in the pollen salt rim. The rest of it tasted bland and uninspired. The adorable honey dripper in the presentation is a cute touch, but not enough to save this.
