Disney Themed Drinks: A Fan Menu of Cocktails and Mocktails, Film by Film

The guest list at a Disney party runs from preschoolers in plastic tiaras to adults who still know every word of the songs. Before we buy a single bottle, we split the drinks into two columns on the back of an envelope: one for the kids and drivers, one for the grown-ups. The kids’ column always gets filled in first.

This is a fan menu. None of these drinks is an official Disney recipe or anything served in the parks. They are real recipes from our database that happen to share a name or a mood with a film, and we’ve described each one by what actually goes into it. Measurements are the proportions we use at home.

The no-alcohol column

The Cinderella is an old bartender’s standby for anyone not drinking, and it suits the job completely. Orange juice, pineapple juice and lemon juice get shaken with a little sugar syrup, then topped with soda water. We use two ounces each of orange and pineapple, half an ounce of lemon and a quarter ounce of syrup, and pour it into a stemmed glass so it feels like an occasion. Kids treat the stem like a glass slipper.

Villain fans get the Evil Princess, which also contains no alcohol. Grape juice and apple juice meet grenadine, vanilla syrup and a squeeze of lemon, and the result is a deep, almost black purple. Think grape lollipop with a soft vanilla finish. The younger guests pick it for the color alone.

The surprise in this column is the Mickey Mouse. Its recipe has no spirit at all: tomato juice with lemon and lime, Tabasco and Worcestershire. That makes it a spicy virgin Mary, and despite the name it’s really the grown-ups’ no-alcohol option. Salt the rim and add a celery stick if you have one.

Snow White and the apple

Our Snow White is Heineken topped with Sprite, which is a shandy by another name, light and lemony and gentle enough to drink through a long afternoon. Half lager, half soda is where we land.

Her stepmother brings the apple. The Poison Apple is Apfelkorn, a German apple liqueur, with Absolut vodka. We pour it as a small shot, three quarters of an ounce of Apfelkorn to half an ounce of vodka, with a thin slice of red apple on the rim. Crisp and sweet, like biting a green apple, and it goes down far too easily for something with vodka in it.

Neverland

The Peter Pan Cocktail is a vintage-style drink of gin, dry vermouth and orange juice with a dash of bitters. We shake equal parts of the first three and serve it up. Soft, orange-scented, a distant martini cousin, and the most old-fashioned glass on the menu.

Tinker Bell gets something green and fizzy. The Pixie Stick is Midori and gin topped with 7-Up, and in a tall glass it glows a pale, fairy-light green. An ounce of Midori and an ounce of gin is plenty under four ounces of soda.

Agrabah

Our Genie Martini is just Gordon’s gin and Martini & Rossi bianco vermouth, stirred cold. Bianco is the sweet white style of vermouth, so this is a gentler, faintly vanilla martini, and we serve it in the smallest coupes we own. Princess Jasmine’s glass is the Jasmine: gin, lemon juice, Campari and triple sec, shaken and finished with a lemon peel. It pours a soft coral pink, and people who taste it often swear there’s grapefruit juice inside. There isn’t any. Campari and lemon fool the tongue together.

Beast, Buzz, Moana and Ariel

The Beauty and the Beast pairs pink, creamy Tequila Rose strawberry liqueur with dark, herbal Jägermeister. So both title characters share a glass. We shake equal halves of an ounce with ice and strain it as a shot. It’s an acquired taste, and we warn guests that it tastes like a strawberry milkshake arguing with a cough drop.

For the Toy Story fans, the Buzz Lightyear mixes Absolut, Midori and orange juice into a glass the color of his suit trim. An ounce of vodka, half an ounce of Midori and four ounces of juice keeps it breakfast-bright and not too strong.

Moana Sands brings in peach schnapps, Chambord, coconut syrup and orange juice. Poured last, the Chambord drifts down into a dark berry band under the orange, a sunset over the reef. Coconut syrup rounds off the sharp edges. Mermaid fans can have Ariel’s Frappe Punch, vodka with grapefruit juice, acerola cherry and sugar, blended or shaken hard over crushed ice until it’s slushy.

The menu card

We print this for the table so guests can find their film quickly.

Before the doors open

Most of this menu gets shaken, and nobody wants the host stuck behind a shaker all night. So we pre-batch the Cinderella base in a pitcher (everything but the soda) and top each glass to order. If you’ve already got a fridge full of juice and a few odd liqueurs, put them into Cocktail Builder and see what else you can match to a film.

Our Harry Potter themed drinks menu uses the same color-by-team trick if your crowd leans toward wizards, and our Shrek themed drinks menu is the one to steal from if the party slides toward green ogres. As for which Disney drink runs out first, at our house it has never been an alcoholic one.
