Drinking alcohol makes me sleepy and dehydrated. On cruises I enjoy “Mocktails” but never thought to look for them at WDW. I hope some people chime in with some ideas.
I always wondered what those sodas with the glass balls were like. Also, why? Does the ball do something to the soda?
I may try to convince my DD19 to try with me.
I too rarely partake in any alcoholic beverages. I think one of my favorites is the Night Blossom at Pongo Pongo in Pandora. It is sweet but an interesting mix of flavors.
There were several nonalcoholic options at Oga’s Cantina that looked good to me - one I tried was the Cliff Dweller. The taste was great but I didn’t love all the crushed ice - someone who likes chewing ice would love it though. My family will be going to Oga’s in a few weeks so I’ll try to remember to post what we like here.
My kids really liked the Carbon Freeze and the Blue Bantha. My coffee-loving DD20 did not like the Black Spire Brew. (The bartender noticed she wasn’t drinking it and swapped it for another Carbon Freeze. Yea!)
Also, someone mentioned on one of the threads and also on Yelp that it is possible to get a Cliff Dweller without keeping the souvenir mug at a regular price.
There are lots of tried and true options - root beer, apple cider, and real lemonade (and all of it’s add-on siblings like blueberry lemonade, strawberry lemonade, etc) come to mind. I try to drink mostly water, but if I’m going to indulge in some liquid sugar these are some of my favorites.
Also, there are a lot of varieties of tea and tisanes out there to try. I’m particularly fond of peach tea. I doubt you need someone from the US to teach you about tea, though.
If creative and interesting are a must, it looks like Takumi-Tei has some interesting options. Well, when it’s open.
