If you want some history around the tradition of drinking around the world, it wasn't started by the patrons, it was started by animators and imagineers and became popular when the 3d department started to have problem, with 3d coming in. I was lucky enough to become friends with many of those original group when i first worked for the mouse as an actor, most of them are gruff old turds now, but they were pretty fun. One of them even went out of their to help me learn to draw. I'm a smaller person, so i never made it very far, usually i just got one of those hollowed out pineapple drinks and slowly nursed that. I'm a "girl drink" drunk.

The swimming pool note isn't the cocktail, it's the ice! Disney doesn't filter their water, even for fancy cocktails at fancy bars. All the ice is made with good ol' Florida Tap Water, which is approximately 50% chlorine. PS: The move in the UK is the Pimms Cup.

The thing to realize about Baijiu is that the one that's been featured on this show before - Kinmen Kaoling - is not exactly the nice stuff. It is drank in Taiwan as a sort of rite-of-passage thing. Like drinking Everclear at a frat party. It is also the cheapest alcohol/price ratio you can get in Taiwan. There's plenty of baijiu that taste way nicer. There might also be some that taste worse.

[@user-wm1oo4os7e]

I really want him to try the moutai ice cream 😋

[@jakegaubatz]

I feel like that's what 'shochu' is in Japan. You can find gallons/liters of the stuff...I'm talking a massive plastic container of pure alcohol, for about 10-15 USD. It's basically jet fuel though and it's what they use for 90% of cocktails here (with the exception of higher class bars). Japanese cocktails are generally disappointing though as most are simply a little syrup, a little shochu, and a lot of tonic/soda water. Easy to drink but very unimpressive.

[@chaosstripe9446]

I definitely want to see some of these remade in the HtD bar. The Ichigo Breeze, Dragon Dynasty, Corn Old Fashioned, and Morrocan Mule would be especially interesting to try to figure out the specs of.

I think the big benefit of an espresso martini with blended Ice is that it's Florida and it gives you a cooler drink faster. Because a cold, caffeinated, and slightly alcoholic drink is the kinda thing people want when half way around EPCOT.

My husband and I had annual passes for a decade in the 00s when we lived in Orlando and we and our friends always went Canada first.

Exactly! Never even heard of the two he got.

[@SmokeyChipOatley]

Yes! I’m from the states and visited Vancouver with a few friends a few years ago (first and so far only visit to Canada) and the double caesar was our go-to cocktail the whole trip. I know it’s basically a modified bloody mary but describing it as such in my opinion does it a huge disservice. They’re so good! Even my buddy’s gf who apparently hates bloody marys was ordering them towards the end of the vacation. I dont quite remember what the weird yellow salt rim was but it was delicious.

[@maih600]

It's usually celery salt, though there are variations. Ingredients are vodka, clamato juice, Tabasco, a dash of Worcestershire, rimmed with celery salt and stirred with a celery stick that's left in the glass.

[@SmokeyChipOatley]

@@maih600 Oh ok I had to text my buddy since it was bugging me but the reason I was confused was because this video game bar we went to used what they called “chicken salt” which I imagine was like chicken bouillon but it had a hint of lemon-pepper in it also.

​​​@@Default78334 Yeah I'm from the UK and I've only ever had Pimm's with the fizzy kind of lemonade. Putting a brand name in there makes it sound tacky but the US doesn't have a generic term so the options are limited. Also iirc Sprite is specifically lemon and lime; a lot of generic British lemonade is *just* Vaguely Lemon Flavoured. No lime. (My go-to drink is Amaretto and lemonade, and a lot of branded lemonades are just *too* lemon-forward for it to work properly. Sometimes you *need* the cheap non-branded supermarket stuff.)

[@themather1]

We're decently big on cocktails here in Norway. Drinking out is just expensive, so we mostly stick to a handful of classics that we make at home. Mainly gin tonic, Irish coffee, sangria, and whatever the fad of the year is for social media addicts. But some distinctly Norwegian cocktails, which are pretty damn good, are: Oslo Mule Fjellbekk (Mountain Stream) Sure Sivert Last one might be difficult to find a recipe in English, so: 2 cl vodka 2 cl Pisang Ambon 2 cl sour mix 1 cl cream Shake, strain into a highball glass with ice, and top with Sprite.

[@DangerSquiggles]

This sounds like it would curdle immediately

[@themather1]

@DangerSquiggles It doesn't. I'm no expert, but I think it's the sugar in the sour mix and Pisang Ambon that keeps it from being acidic enough to curdle the cream. Either that, or citric acid just isn't that acidic on its own when separated from the rest of the citrus juice.

[@DangerSquiggles]

@@themather1 Interesting! I'll have to see where I can get the Pisang Ambon.

[@sugarandspice4815]

"Shake, strain into a highball glass with ice, and top with Sprite." Okay, is *this* why Wisconsin bars always try to lengthen cocktails with soft drinks? Because this is done in Scandinavia, and half of Wisconsinites have Nordic surnames?

[@themather1]

@sugarandspice4815 Possibly..? We tend to drink liquor side-by-side with our beer/cider/coctktails here. A glass of something refreshing next to a dram of cognac, whiskey, or aquavit, so spirit-heavy cocktails are just less popular because they don't fit the niche.

[@avscurr]

A recommendation for a Norwegian cocktail is one I had many years ago in Oslo called a Fjellbekk (I think that is the spelling!) 1 part Aquavit 1 part Vodka 1 part lime Sprite to top. Served over ice. To my memory it was made in the glass, but shaking would certainly chill through the spirits a little more and I personally go a little lighter on the lime.

The Corn Old Fashioned is one of my favorite drinks at Disney!

[@xero3263]

In Norway the popular cocktail is the Viking Coffee, essentially like an Irish coffee with cocoa pebbles on top. It is also served without alcohol. Also, if you do another of these make sure you stop by the Odyssey pavilion. They usually have interesting cocktails to compliment the current festivals along with lots of food offerings and it isn't far from World Showcase for a drink around the world trip. I'd love to do a fan meetup or something next time you decide to do EPCOT! I've watched a ton of your videos over the years. Going during the Food and Wine Festival is probably the best bang for the buck since they have about double the selections of each.

They're uncommon in the States, but some brave craft brewers will make them. They shouldn't be hoppy as the traditional recipes wouldn't include hops and simply use juniper sprigs or berries and other foraged herbs.

[@erzsebetkovacs2527]

That should be the old, medieval style beer. Never knew that they're still brewing it like that in Norway.

[@adamwhite2364]

Is that fairly similar to Scottish style ales that are brewed with no hops and just herbs? It would kinda make sense since Vikings were conquering and sharing cultures there a ways back

[@hopnationusa4308]

@@adamwhite2364 Not particularly. The ancient Scandinavian styles are going to be closer to funkier farmhouse ales and lower in ABV, while the Scottish ales are closer to strong ales. The scots wouldn't include juniper, and the use of peat in both the germination and brewing processes would add a smokey flavor. The same notes you find in scotch whisky. Although both are lower in hop content and character because the climates were bad for growing hops

[@hopnationusa4308]

@@erzsebetkovacs2527 It's definitely an ancient style that's more seen as a gimmick or historical brew nowadays. But there are still those who brew them.

[@tomsautocadstudio6446]

you should have tried a snake bit which is beer cider and blackcurrant juice in the gb pavillion.

[@nervoustic1997]

When I was there during food and wine the best drink I had was the clasica Reyes margarita. Don't know if they still have it.

[@Robodragonlord]

Aw man. I was just in Florida last week for my honeymoon! I would've gone to Epcot to enjoy the sights and drinks.

20 years ago Morocco had a crazy cocktail, it was $6 and about 6oz of liquor with a splash of juice.

Hey man, if your doing drinks around the world you should try to get the Scottish buckfast, would be really intreating to see you try it and then try to make a cocktail/drink out of it. Though i also understand depending on the state it may be illegal, if so come visit and try it here!

[@HogTide_Rising]

Well that was fun. Now I never have to waste a day at Epcot. Thanks for a fun video about a cocktail wasteland. Yo did a great job with what little you had to work with.

[@sillybear25]

18:00 Peach and mango flavors come across pretty similarly to me, they're definitely distinct, but a lot of the "bass notes" are pretty common between the two

[@chairofthebored]

le fin du mond brought back some blurry memories of college drinking that 9% beer If you really want a quintessential Canadian cocktail it's gotta be the ceasar

[@m4ssee]

You should try to make a Finnish long drink sometime. We've been buying it as a RTE for decades but it's easy to make at home. All you need is gin and grapefruit (not grape, grapeFRUIT) soda.

Next time you go to disney world, in recommend doing the Monorail bar crawl to all the premium resort lounges. Cocktails are amazing at Grande Floridian Enchanted Rose

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

I went to Epcot in 1983. The park had just opened. There were only a few pavilions open.

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Canada is Caesar!!! Looked like a fun trip around the world.

[@SkittlestheMouse]

Canadian here! Have you ever tried Sortilege and cranberry juice? It's delicious, but not much of a cocktail I guess! Sortilege is great for everything though. We also have our own canadian made amaretto called Avril which is delicious!

[@lucasgalassi3939]

Figenza fig vodka is extremely good, I have had some bottles shipped over to the US for my mother who hardly drinks but loves a mule made with it

[@minuteman4199]

You should have had the Pimm's At the British pavilion. Old Speckled Hen is pretty good beer.

[@mallgaier]

So happy to not be solo in loving the corn old fashioned.

[@bellapalmera]

Yesss 81bay is great! If you had to get a beer I'm glad it was theirs.

[@jmarcum75]

Would like to see you recreate the corn old fashioned and the non alcoholic drink (but with alcohol) on a future episode.

[@TimBaker]

I wish I could join you at Epcot. I love that place!
