How Much Does It Really Cost To Drink Around The World? Our Top 11 Drinks In World Showcase!

Stop #1: La Cava del Tequila
No surprise here. We’re starting in Mexico and we’re heading inside to La Cava del Tequila. We’re going to start smooth and stay away from anything too strong right off the bat.
The Avocado Margarita has Dos Hombres mezcal, melon-orange liqueur, fresh avocado, lime juice, and a hibiscus salt rim. Creamy, a bit of pucker from the citrus, and some mellow mezcal. You just can’t go wrong here.

Avocado Margarita, $21.00 + tax = $22.37
Tip: $5 (At least $5. When you see the service you get you’ll decide on $20 for sure.)
Drink Total: $27.37
Running Total: $27.37

Norway
Stop #2: Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
Sure, this is post about the very best drinks in World Showcase, but somehow the Cinnamon Roll with Orange Cream Cheese Icing, $7.49, always lands on our tray when we stop in for a Frozen Viking Coffee. Just plan to grab one, too, when you go.
Frozen Viking Coffee has Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur and Kamora Coffee Liqueur with Coffee-Chocolate Sauce and garnished with Coffee-Chocolate Crunch. This is a nice, sweet way to perk up with an adult coffee.

Frozen Viking Coffee, $17.50 + tax = $18.64
Drink Total: $18.64
Running Total: $46.01

China
Stop #3: Joy of Tea
After you drop your $1.00 offering at the Buddha inside House of Good Fortune, it’s time for another beverage. We rotate between the Tipsy Ducks in Love and the Lychee Cha Cha. The Pork Egg Rolls for $5.95 are just a good move. We aren’t going to make it to Canada on drinks alone!
Tipsy Ducks in Love has Bourbon, Black Tea, Coffee, Cream, and Chocolate.
Lychee Cha Cha has Vodka, Oolong Tea, and Lychee Syrup.
We’re going to recommend the Lychee Cha Cha for this stop because it’s a little sweet and is really the only unflavored vodka drink we like in World Showcase.

Lychee Cha Cha, $13.50 + tax = $14.38
Drink Total: $14.38
Running Total: $60.39

Germany
Stop #4: Bier Stand
It’s hot, we’re on drink 4, and we need something refreshing! Let’s take a moment to play DuckTales (Germany is one of the BEST play places for DuckTales) and grab a gorgeous Schöfferhofer Grapefruit from the Bier Stand. It’s best ice cold so don’t linger with this one, but it’s absolutely delicious and they have only raised the price 25 cents in the last few years!!!

Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen, $12.50 + tax = $13.31
Drink Total: $13.31
Running Total: $73.70

Italy
Stop #5: Gelateria Toscana
Hear us out. We know the Gelateria isn’t usually on a “Drinking Around World Showcase” list but there are two reasons this is our go-to drink in Italy. First, it’s tasty and cold! Frozen Limoncello and tequila?!? While you’re there, order the Affogato Espresso Gelato for $12.75, too. Dunk your Amaretto cookies into the espresso that is now infused with slow melting vanilla gelato and you’re going to feel like you do at the end of Happily Ever After when Tink takes flight. The Italian Margarita is going to be the star and the Affogato is the fun side quest, but you need both. Trust us. Years, and years of research after all.

Italian Margarita, $12.00 + tax = $12.78
Drink Total: $12.78
Running Total: $86.48

American Adventure
Spot #6: Regal Eagle Smokehouse Cocktails
The Moonshine Sour is a rite of passage for Americans in World Showcase. A way to call up a fuzzy memory, too, for those of us privileged Gen X or elder Millenials who had our first sip of “real” moonshine in a field behind Carrie’s house when our parents thought we were sleeping over Sandy’s and we somehow made it home alive. Ahh. Memories. Anyway, this isn’t as strong as that moonshine, but it has a kick!
The Moonshine Sour has Ole Smokey Blackberry Moonshine, Blood Orange, Blackberry, and Lemon

Moonshine Sour, $17.50 + tax = $18.64
Tip: $3.50
Drink Total: $22.14
Running Total: $108.62

Japan
Stop #7: Kabuki Cafe
Our research has helped us determine that you need two drinks in Japan. First, the Violet Sake Slushy is the superior Violet Sake for 7 months out of the year. Maybe 8. The sweet-coated ice at the top is only outshone by the spectacular Violet Sake goodness at the bottom.
You aren’t going to drink the entire Frozen Kirin. We’re assuming you’re completing this drinking voyage with friends and we’re going to bet one of them will finish what you don’t. The foam on the Frozen Kirin and the first three sips are bright, bitter, and wonderful. That’s what we’re after here. The Violet Sake is some sweetie goodness, but the Kirin resets the palate. Those first three sips are stunning since you’ll get a bit of the frozen lid and some chilly beer.

Violet Sake Slushy, $14.00 + tax = $14.91
Frozen Kirin, $13.00 + tax = $13.85
Drink Total: $28.76
Running Total: $137.38

Morocco
Stop #8: Oasis Sweets & Sips
Frozen Mint Tea is vastly improved with a splash of Bombay Sapphire Gin, which is why this treat is our pick for the Morocco pavilion. We aren’t usually gin drinkers, but this is sweet and cold, and the gin isn’t very strong. Throw in an Almond Crescent Cookie for $3.79 and you’ll be set.

Alcoholic Frozen Mint Tea, $17.50 + tax = $18.64
Drink Total: $18.64
Running Total: $156.02

France
Stop #9:L’Artisan des Glaces
There are several ways to customize this Ice Cream Martini and we love them all. The raspberry just happens to be our favorite, but you could do mango sorbet with Grand Marnier ~ a delightful combo. Or, try the piña colada sorbet with a shot of rum for a tropical vibe. There are no bad choices here.

Ice Cream Martini, $14.95 + tax = $15.92
Drink Total: $15.92
Running Total: $171.94

United Kingdom
Stop #10: Yorkshire County Fish Shop
The Harp Lager at Yorkshire County Fish Shop is our pick if you decide to start in Mexico, as is proper. If you decide to thwart our advice and start in Canada, we suggest popping into the Rose and Crown Pub for an English Rose or the Single Malt Flight.

Harp Lager, $12.00 + tax = $12.78
Drink Total: $12.78
Running Total: $184.72

Canada
Stop #11:Canada Popcorn Cart
A face full of maple popcorn and an Ottawa Apple is the very best way to end a World Showcase drinking tour! This drink is tart and sweet and the whiskey is the perfect late night drink before you catch your bus, boat, skyliner, or ride share back to your room!
The Ottawa Apple has Canadian Whisky, Maple, Apple Infusion, and Cranberry Juice and it is just so good!

Ottawa Apple, $16.50 + tax = $17.57
Drink Total: $17.57

Final Total for all 12 drinks: $202.29
