Mickey Mouse is getting a reputation for mixing great cocktails.

Walt Disney World runs America's best chain of cocktail bars, according to Cheers magazine, which also called Walt Disney World's signature libation a "dream-like" martini.

The trade magazine for full-service restaurants and bars said the company's usual attention to themed detail and operational efficiency has made the resort the nation's "Best Chain Overall Beverage Program."

Disney's "Blue 'Glow-Tini'," won the magazine's "Best Chain Signature Drink" prize.

Cheers touts its annual awards as the industry's top honors. Winners were selected by peer judges, and prizes were presented in late January, though Disney World waited until late last week to note its wins.

Cheers writes that Disney's cocktail business "delivers a little Disney magic in every glass." In this case the magic is not produced by pixie dust, Disney said in its press release.

The resort overhauled its alcoholic drinks and standardized its cocktail menu in late 2006 as part of the "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion.

"That joy and fun carries over to our beverage menu," said spokeswoman Andrea Finger.

Very interesting.. but the question is:

Can they make a Mojito as good as the ones at Tommy Bahama's?

The Glowtini can be found at almost every single bar on property. It is a resort wide drink for the celebration. Costs around 9.50

But I do have to tell you a dirty martini at the Adventurer's Club is pretty refreshing as well.

Never had the Glowtini.....I'll have to make sure to get one on my next trip......maybe three or four just to make sure that the article is accurate.

I like your thinking

Ok I Love martini's of all flavors. They are suppose to have alot of alcohol in them but I know how disney makes there drinks and the alcohol is a little slack. So do thay have as much alcohol as they should or are they making them the disney way....:shrug:

 

[urbanvegan]

I've never met a martini I didn't like, but I'm surprised by the accolades for the "Glow-tini." It's not bad, but it's nothing I would ever give an award to. The glow cube is cute and all, but it's rather ordinary otherwise.

But congrats, either way! :sohappy:

I don't know what bars you've been drinking at, but just about all of the watering holes I've been to have poured very nicely! You get a good overpriced drink, you buy another, then another, then yet another... Then you go to the bathroom and come back for another!

By the end of the day, you're down $100 but really feeling the magic, in a park other than MK of course!

Yes, you should never draw a conclusion on a sample of 1 !

I definitly agree the bartenders at the mouse house seem pretty generous with the pouring of liquor.

 

[colleen2997]

The bartenders at the Polynesian were very gererous with the alcohol when I was there in October...
"Ohh yheaa... Food and Wine Festival just weeks away! Better start sobering up from last year's!":shrug: Isn't it more like several months away??

Let's just say, I had too much fun and ran up too much of a tab! It's back in late September! WHOOO!

 

[cinderellafan6]

Well then I will def try one when I go in May. I just hate it when you pay so much money for a drink and you have to add more of your own because theres not enough..or maybe thats just because I make my drinks a little to stong most of the time..I think that could be it!! haha:hammer:

I agree I had one in Feburary when we ate at the Coral reef. It looked really cool, (I have a picture of it at home) but it didn't taste like anything extra special.

yes!!! the raspberry mojito at the tambu lounge is fantastic. and large. ive never had a better mojito, before or since. its actually kind of depressing now, what i wouldnt give for one right now...:slurp::slurp:

 

[lpet11984]

I was reading about this drink in the menu section and thought then I'd have to try it...now I'll have to try it for sure!

 

[yankspy]

Anyone know what is in it, besides what I imagine is Blue Curacao. Oh!! Stop drinking Mojito's. They are very bad for you.
