Need your Disney Fix? Make the Dole Whip at Home! Also rum! | How to Drink

I'm a giant Disney's Parks fan, today I'm talking about my favorite attraction, the Enchanted Tiki Room, and making a Dole Whip
**********************************
I'm kind of a giant Walt Disney World Fan and I love me some Dole Whip. The Dole Whip, if you're not familiar, is a soft serve ice cream confection, usually pineapple flavored, that is served just outside of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. It has a rabid fanbase just desperate to get more of that magic dole whip awesomeness all year long- and now you can! I've got a perfect dole whip recipe you can mix up at home all on your own. I add rum to mine, but that's totally not necessary. In fact, the rum changes the consistency to more of a shake and less of an ice cream. It turns out, this is pretty darn simple to make. The Enchanted Tiki Room is probably my favorite attraction, so I talk about it quite a bit here, and also Walt Disney's history with the attraction and a bit about its strange history in the park too.
Dole Whip
16 oz. or 450 g. Frozen Pineapple
2.6 oz. or 77 ml. coconut milk
3 tbs or 36 g. sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp or 5 ml. lemon juice
1 tsp. or 5 ml. lime juice
2 oz. or 60 ml. rum (OPTIONAL)
Garnish with pineapple
and an umbrella!

It's two factors that make it work: colour coordination (the shirt is a base white and most decorations are of a blue gradient that goes into a dark blue which fits the pants') and the partition caused by the high pants and suspenders.

[@IRONHIDE434]

Watching Greg sing so happily in the beginning made ME happy. When I, a 22 year old man, grow up, I want to be as happy as Greg.

[@salemite]

Best episode yet! I quit drinking last year to avoid the pitfalls of alcoholism that haunt my bloodline. Seeing recipes like this that are both virgin and non is great, if you can do more alcohol-sub options on your drinks I would be much obliged!!!

[@jinxiejae]

Greg: I wanna do my room in tiki stuff. Greg's parents: absolutely not, that's disgusting! Greg: fine, I'll get into heavy metal then. Greg's parents: wait...

“Kids are dumb” - Greg 2019. Great vid!

[@pschroeter1]

I'm lactose intolerant and for a while Dole Whip was the only thing I could order at our local ice cream stand and I was grateful for it. I think they also make vanilla which would be perfect.

[@TheEyesofSyn]

I very vaguely remember the Enchanted Tiki Room as a kid and being pretty entranced by that and places like the Rainforest Cafe. I can't remember the name of the place, but there was a wildlife education center that had a reptile exhibit with this intricate tiki design, and weather effects every so often that I went to as a little girl that enthralled me beyond anything. Though I became obsessed with ships and pirates, jungle islands, tropical caves, and the sea in general instead of specifically that Tiki vibe. Hilariously, that also sort of took a back burner to heavy metal when I hit that goth phase of mine, got really into anime, and wore a lot of band shirts of bands way before my time.

[@kelzbelz313]

Greg, how has your career as a pop star not taken off? Such silky pipes deserve to be shared with the world.

[@coleschroder8517]

What if you soaked the pineapple in rum then froze it to maintain drunkenness and viscosity? Just an idea it’s probably dumb

[@BOYVIRGO666]

Have fun freezing that rum.

[@cyn3rgy759]

You can get Pineapple Dole Whip with Rum at EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, Art of Animation Resort, All Star Sports Resort and Trader Sam’s Tiki Bar in The Polynesian Resort.

[@nickdennis8810]

does it have the same viscosity as the non alcoholic version? wondering if the rum affects actual soft serve

[@robertporter6641]

Nick Dennis I’m sure it does. I haven’t had the opportunity to order it yet. I got my info from Disney Food Blog. If you add Alcohol to frozen desserts it lowers its freezing point so it will make it melt faster I’m sure.

[@underdog105]

Yeah. Don't order one. It's 6 dollars extra and they just give you a shot glass with awful rum to throw on it.

[@robertporter6641]

underdog105 I had a feeling. Most places when the add rum use Bacardi Superior White Rum which is an ok mixer but it’s more or less sugar vodka. Not a lot of character.

The intro of this video is one of the reasons I love your show. Finally someone who is just as dorky as me but isn’t ashamed to flaunt it! And I consider myself a pretty big Disney fan (at least of the movies). Love your show, love all the different drinks you concoct, keep up the good work :)

[@TheRealTomGreen]

I'm also a bit of a Disneyland / WDW fanatic myself and love your channel. Its nice to see these two worlds intersect! Keep the great stuff coming!

I knew there was a reason I liked you. Cocktail nut and Disney fanatic? My kind of person. Two weeks and I'll be back at Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar right after I drive in, with reservations at Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's Edge the next morning and plans for Trader Sam's several times the rest of the week.

[@MorgusVR]

Yep, this one was on point, made it tonight. We did a recipe with the whole banana and you were right, less banana is the way to go. Nice one. I went coconut rum on mine though, that's tradition sneaking in rum for me at the Magic Kingdom.

[@DratsumX]

FYI Greg - the Polynesian resort at Walt Disney World is the “only Disney owned place outside of the magic kingdom where you can get a Dole whip.” And you can get it with Bacardi.

Fun fact! You can actually buy Dole pineapple soft serve mix online (if you have a soft-serve maker!) Edit: you can also get a Dole whip float with Malibu both in Disney Springs and in the park!

[@shawnthomas1267]

They also sell Dole Whip at the Orange County Fair (and therefore likely other county fairs).

[@bibliophilecb]

You can also buy an alcoholic Dole Whip at the Polynesian Resort I believe (WDW cast member here)

[@Spacialvekter]

@@bibliophilecb You still can at Pineapple Lanai. ^_^ Dole Whip isn't just a Disney thing either, they sell it at a bunch of places around the country. It's just most well known for being at Disney.

[@nickdennis8810]

would it still have the same viscosity as soft serve after adding the rum or would it end up like Greg's drink?

[@AlexChristian]

@@nickdennis8810 it's a float, so it's soft serve WITH extra liquid around it, so it starts solid and then melts into a nice slushy consistency

[@MZmuda5]

To get an "adult" version of this treat that's still as thick as the un-adult-erated version: freeze your rum. (Just throw it in the freezer. It won't freeze, but will get more viscous.)

[@silvermediastudio]

Also, add vanilla ice cream.

[@martidodger7106]

Thank you for the video and also I really really appreciate your gushing about the Enchanted Tiki Room and Disney Park/Imagineering history! The Enchanted Tiki Room has always been my favorite (I've also wanted to change a portion of my home into a tiki room) and has so many good memories for me! It's always my first stop in the parks! Thanks for the recipe!

[@robert-pilgrim]

I personally don't remember much of when I was young, but my folks tell me that I LOVED the Tiki Room as a toddler and would flat out refuse to leave because of the music. I always poo-pooed that, said they were making it up. Then I heard the intro to this episode, and I was there again in a flash! Thanks for doing what you do, Greg. :)

[@mattbeach8641]

That was an astounding performance in the beginning, but the real question is how much did you drink before singing it? Drink looks delicious, and I love bevs that you can adjust the alcohol content without ruining the flavor!

Me and my brother we're in FL this spring visiting family just outside of Orlando, so decided to spend a day at EPCOT. I always kinda hated it as a kid, saw it as the "edutainment" park, but really loved it now that I'm in my 30s. Also, first time being in EPCOT "of age", so had a frozen margarita and churro bites at the Mexican Pavilion. Would recommend on a hot FL day, very refreshing! ;)
