    Default Epcot World Showcase...Best drinks?

    As 21+ fanatics, we're traveling with friends in September with our eyes set on Epcot (and JUST missing the food and wine fest. d'oh!). I had recently discovered that Germany, for example, offers wine flights in their pavilion. Now I'm going to take the time to research the other pavilions with similar offerings, but thought a thread might help me gather some info, too.

    My favorites are the Avocado margarita at La Cava in Mexico and a Golden from the pub in the United Kingdom.

    Have fun! I love my way around Epcot!

    France and Italy also offer wine tastings. Japan offers a saki tasting, plus frozen kirin. The Grey Goose or Grand Marnier slushes in France are also can't miss, if you like that sort of thing. I always get a frozen fiesta margarita in Mexico, but also tequila tasting at Cava del Tequila (and there are some unique margaritas, too). A black and tan from Rose & Crown. So many good things! Make sure you also drink some water, stay hydrated, and share some snacks along the way with your drinks. Nothing worse than feeling overindulged at WDW.

    agree with all of these, with a note about the sake in Japan. As much as I love almost all things Japanese, I actually hate the taste of sake. There is however, one type they sell there that tastes like a cross between rose petals and champagne that was really quite nice. Worth a look...

    OMG, Sherri, how could I forget my new favorite - ice cream beer! It's so good.

    Oh man, I'm kicking myself now! In January I turned my nose up at the frozen Kirin. It is a must in September.

    ***Plenty of water and snacks to be consumed all during this joyous consumption, yes. Would never want to be "that guest" at WDW.

    Since I always stick to non-alcoholic, I'll definitely recommend anything from the Joy of Tea in China pavilion. The green tea slushies are really good.

    Possibly one of the best drinks I've ever had! As in a not to be missed attraction - this is a not to be missed cocktail.
