I agree the Margaritas and Grey Goose slushies are to die for....
Also, on a trip with my DH during the Food and Wine Festival I tried a sparkling rose wine in Italy with dark chocolate. Amazing!! I had never tried that combination before, I highly recommend it!
Can't wait for May.....

Let's see ... not that I have my entire Epcot day's drinking pre-planned ... but here's how it usually goes. I'm a big guy though ... so you might want to skip a world or two if you're worried about getting a little carried away. I also usually go in June or July, so I'm sweating out that alchol pretty quick.
1. Flight arrives at 12:05 pm. Arrive Epcot 1:10. Enter from International Gateway, stopping at ESPN for a "Welcome to Disney" Corona to tide us over for the long (5 minute) walk to Epcot.
2. Enter Epcot; proceed directly to Rose & Crown pub. 1 or 2 Black & Tans, depending.
3. To France ! And Bordeaux from the wine shop. Or a glass of chilled Pouilly-Fuisse. Wife prefers the Grey Goose & Lemonade slushy.
4. To Morrocco ! Time for a pick me up - a cup of Morroccan Coffee.
5. Skip Japan (for drinking at least). You're only a 1 minute walk from the American Pavillion, which offers some wonderful and refreshing New York State Rieslings. Perfect wine for the hot Florida sun.
6. Italy: No doubt here. Pick up another glass of wine (I go with the Amarone, usually) from the shop.
7. Germany: Here's where I usually shift gears for the remainder of the walk towards the big ball. Time to go with a nice supersized beer. Usually something heavy, like the seasonal Beck's Dark. If I want to stay with the wine, there's an incredible selection of fine German rieslings in the shop.
8. Usually by now I'm tumbling, so I boomerang around the Outpost and China at a glacial pace, until I reach Norway ! Time to grab a bench and enjoy a couple of fabulous Carlsberg beers while I enjoy the scenery (usually the Norwegian girls, who are incredibly beautfiul !)
9. Mexico: This is where it all falls apart. Amateurs will grab a margarita, because you have to get a margarita in Mexico, right ? Wrong. Do NOT introduce hard liquor into the mix at this point. It can get ugly. Just get a nice Dos Equis or Corona, to keep you hydrated until you wrap up the booze trip around the world at ....
10. OH CANADA ! THE HOME OF EXCELLENT BEERS ! Find the stand with the selection of Unibroue beers, order a tripple style La Fin Du Monde and get ready to put a cap in that 21st birthday jog.
This is also the point where the kids insist on going on a ride and by now, dad is more than ready to sleep his way through Spaceship Earth or the Universe of Energy.
Enjoy !

The Welsh Dragon from the Rose and Crown is awesome!(Welsh Dragon: Peach schnapps, Melon liqueur, crème de Menthe, Orange Juice, and Pineapple Juice )
And I second third and fourth the margaritas : )

Bump! Your trip should be happening soon, let us know how you fair! We did this back in 2007, my first "Of age" trip to the world. We only split a few drinks. We paced ourselves fairly well, but yes it was expensive but so much fun. We will be doing this again in June for my fiancee's birthday.
-We skipped all around. I think we started in Canada, with Molson. Then it was time for dinner at Biergarten where I had a big stein of Becks, I think. Margarita in Mexico, Carlsberg in Norway, Tsing Tao (beer) in China, Peroni (beer) in Italy, Sake in Japan (not a fan, almost derailed me), Grand Marnier slush in France, half yard of Strongbow in UK, I forget what the Moroccan beer was, and I think we did Sam Adams in America. I think that covers it... we did not stop at the African Outpost

For the last over 20 years, will always be for me a pint for R & C, just tradition. I have added the margarita on occasion from Mexico, the layered one, of course. Can't do more than this now at over 40! I still want to try one of the slushes one of these days! I can't do champagne at the park! I would be so sick with the sun! (Like in that movie Cocktail where Tom Cruise says "perfume going in....). I agree with Sherry, drink responsibly

Less than a week away for me now!
TENTATIVE PLAN:
-start with a fiesta margarita in mexico
-slowly make the way over to france (with some food mixed in) and pick up a grey goose lemon slush
-add some more food in...hahaha.... and then I'm thinking wine, this is where I need recommendations, though.. I like Pinot A LOT, also chardonnay (basically NOT red ones), so what would anyone that likes the white wines recommend and from where?
And THEN... I'm going to attempt to sober up a bit.... dbf and I have reservations for Raglan Road at 8:30 and I'm thinking I want to be feeling good for that so I can hit it hard again. YAY...... (on a side note, we're getting 8-14" of snow on top of a horrible winter so far here, so I'm almost more excited about being WARM for a while than going around the world!!!)

I'll just say upfront, I'm a lightweight......my drinking around the world is limited to a start and finish thing.....If we start in Mexico I get a fiesta margarita......I usually finish it around Germany.....then I finish up in France with a Grey Goose slush......that's it for me!! Those two drinks and there is no rides for mumma! I'm benched if I do this!

Dave suggests you try one of the Rieslings in Germany for a wine...but that would cause you to backtrack.

We'll be down there June 15 - 25 ! Can't wait !
As for white wine recommendations, here are a few you might not normally search out, but which I really enjoy (and I'm generally a red only guy):
Germany - Riesling, riesling, riesling. Look for the John Jos. Prum, especially. Remember Spatlese is almost honey like, Auslese is more reserved. The German shop has a whole riesling bar and I believe they offer a flight. If you like heavily oaked chardonnay with a buttery texture, you'll love spatlese riesling.
USA - the Crab Cake shed offers a selection of New York State wines, including a NY Riesling that is pretty nice, if somewhat thin compared to Germany. Also look for the Sauvignon Blanc, which is crisper with far racier acidity.
France - go with the Pouilly-Fuisse, and refreshing white bordeaux blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon.
Italy - try the Fumaio; a plesant and very inexpensive hot weather wine served chilled.
Enjoy the trip !
-
Rosa Regale in Italy for sure! It goes perfectly with a piece of chocolate cake from the bakery in France.

In Francce they have these Grand Marnier Oranges slushy drinks which are to die for.

During the F&WF, I had a mango gingerita and it was delicious - sweet and spicy and frozen.
-
There is definitely plenty to choose from so I'm sure you'll have a blast!! Maybe you can find some other WS barhoppers to buy you a drink on your 21st and it won't be so expensive!!! I can't wait to try these grey goose slushies everyone's hollarin' about! I would recommend you stay OFF Mission Space- I made that mistake the first time I went on it was after indulging in the F&W festival and I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening in my hotel room in bed.

China was the Green Lychee Mist - tequila, melon liqueur and cream - DELICIOUS. I don't know what possessed me to get it since nobody even recommended it but it was SOOOO GOOOD -
oooooh! Can't wait to try that next time!
