Disney is known for its delicious and playful food and beverages, but thanks to culinarily talented Disney fans, you can find recipes to make many of those dishes at home.
Namely, you can make amazing cocktails using just a few basic home bar ingredients. So if adding a little magic to your next get-together with friends sounds appealing to you, read on to learn more about the best Disney cocktail recipes.
If you are a fan of The Lion King, you’ll enjoy the Hakuna Matata cocktail, a boozy blend of tropical flavors. This colorful cocktail gets its bright red and orange hue from grenadine and pineapple juice.
The bulk of the drink consists of sweet alcohols, including spiced rum, coconut rum, and banana liqueur.
At first glance, the Mickey Mouse cocktail looks like a milkshake, but don’t be fooled: this sugary treat has a grown-up twist. In addition to ice cream and cookies, the Mickey Mouse cocktail has a generous serving of vodka, as well as some white chocolate liqueur. Don’t forget to leave two cookies aside to form the signature Mickey ears.
Alice In Wonderland is a fun party theme, and this Mad Hatter martini would be a great drink to have at a Wonderland event. In terms of flavor, the Mad Hatter martini has a slightly tropical vibe, incorporating coconut and pineapple ingredients.
The yellow from the pineapple juice and the blue curacao liqueur combine to form a classic shade of Mad Hatter green.
Everyone loves a pink drink, and it doesn’t get pinker than this Princess Aurora cocktail. Inspired by the pink version of Aurora’s dress—apologies to the fans of the blue version—this vodka-based cocktail uses several ingredients to get a gorgeous pink color, including raspberry liqueur and pink food dye. The recipe also calls for edible glitter, reminiscent of the three fairies.
You can make a Princess and the Frog cocktail if you have a taste for sweet and fruity drinks. This neon green beverage features sweet melon liqueur and green apple liqueur, as well as apple juice as a mixer. The gummy frogs garnish this cocktail to drive home the Princess and the Frog tie-in.
Since Disney owns Star Wars, we would be remiss not to include some cocktails from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. This Baby Yoda cocktail is adorable and would be a great surprise for the next time your friends visit.
The recipe gives you instructions on how to turn your drink into a Baby Yoda using brown paper, blueberries, and lime slices.
Alice’s Looking Glass will certainly give you a good time at a party. Taking inspiration from the color scheme of Tim Burton’s Alice Through the Looking Glass, the drink consists of three Jell-O shots: purple, orange, and green. Present the Jell-O in a tall cocktail glass and top it with whipped cream for a festive appearance.
The Cinderella cocktail in this recipe captures the Cinderella aesthetic with its stunning blue color and classy presentation in a martini glass. You can make this drink using vodka and blue curacao.
The recipe also calls for some fruit juices and cream, producing a pleasantly sweet taste and light texture.
Whether it’s the holidays or a regular chilly evening, you can add some magic to your winter with Elsa’s Frozen Cocktail. The recipe is essentially a Long Island Iced Tea that’s turned electric blue due to the inclusion of blue curacao.
This boozy beverage isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you feel like you need to let it go one night, this is a great drink to have on hand.
You can make this Finding Dory Fruit Punch recipe alcohol-free or with some liquor added. Made with a few fruit juices (raspberry Sunny D gives it a nice ocean blue color), this drink is satisfyingly simple. The orange sugar on the rim is a cute nod to clownfish.
This recipe for a Kuzcotopia cocktail—an homage to Emperor Kuzco from The Emperor’s New Groove—is surprisingly complex for a Disney-themed drink. The pisco-based beverage has a wide range of specialty ingredients, such as pepper bitters and Aperol.
This cocktail looks quite impressive when served in a themed martini glass, regardless of whether or not you’re a fan of early 2000s animated films.
Serve this Tinkerbell cocktail at your next Disney or fairy-themed brunch party. Taking a page from the classic mimosa, this cocktail consists of champagne, pineapple juice, and lemonade.
To cut through some of the sweetness, the recipe also recommends some Angostura bitters. The main attraction, though, is the edible sparkles that will make your drink appear to be filled with pixie dust.
Folks who enjoy limoncello will have a lot of fun with the Belle cocktail, vodka, limoncello, and raspberry liqueur concoction. This drink is well-balanced, with a subtle sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm the citric tartness.
If you want to make the Belle theme more explicit, you can add a relevant garnish, such as rose petals.
Cruella De Vil is a classic Disney villain that you can’t help but love. The Cruella Daiquiri has all of the upscale taste you would expect from the fashion mogul. Making the drink itself is easy since it is a basic daiquiri recipe.
However, to get that cool dalmatian effect, you will have to carefully apply dots of black food dye to the inside of the glass before pouring in the white liquid.
All you need to make a yummy Maleficent cocktail is some vodka, raspberry liqueur, lime juice, and sprite. However, if you want a fantastical cocktail worthy of the Disney brand, you should also add the recommended purple food coloring and edible glitter. The resulting drink looks like a cloud of Maleficent’s magic powers.
These Deadpool shots are a super cool idea for a Marvel-themed party. The drink primarily has a strawberry flavor, featuring both strawberry vodka and strawberry liqueur.
These shots will stand out just as much as Deadpool’s edgy humor thanks to the mysterious black absinthe that floats on the top of these drinks.
The Lightsaber is a blue cocktail made with mezcal and blue curacao. If you like sweet and creamy drinks, you’ll appreciate the inclusion of creme de cacao.
For the Star Wars theme, you’ll have to hunt around for an integral party supply: a toothpick shaped like a lightsaber.
This Spiderman cocktail uses relatively simple ingredients, but it does require some skill and careful attention to make it properly. When you make a layered cocktail, you’ll have to pour the section in slowly and gingerly, ensuring that the layers do not mix.
For this vodka and grenadine drink, use crushed ice to help keep the elements separated.
With an eye-catching color gradient and orange sugared rim, the Ironman cocktail is a great signature drink for any superhero party.
This cocktail is a little high in alcohol and contains vodka, rum, and tequila, so if you want a lighter beverage, you may want to swap out one of the liquors for more mixers.
The Incredible Hulk cocktail practically radiates from the neon green color, achieved through limeade, sour apple pucker, and food coloring.
Spiced rum is the primary alcohol in this drink, making for a tropical and somewhat cozy beverage. This is a blended iced drink, so you may want to save it for a hot summer’s day.
A Captain America cocktail is equally well-suited for a Fourth of July party as it is for a superhero-themed event. Evoking the red, white, and blue popsicles one would get as a child, this layered cocktail incorporates sweet flavors, such as coconut and raspberry. You can also get some colorful sprinkles to decorate the rim for extra pizazz.
The Pacific Breeze Moana combines vodka and rum to produce a fruity tropical cocktail. For mixers, the recipe calls for pineapple juice and Sprite, which adds the exact amount of sweetness and fizz that this drink needs.
Roll the rim of your glass in large coconut shreds to create a playful and rustic island aesthetic.
This Poison Apple cocktail is an allusion to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and can serve as a dramatic drink for any Halloween party.
The cocktail uses sour apple liqueur to get the green hue of a bad apple, while edible black sparkles dripping around the edge of the glass represent the evil poison dripping from the beverage.
For a drink that gives off some Little Mermaid vibes, consider this mermaid lemonade recipe. The cocktail is a typical tropical blue drink, but the tips for garnishes are where the recipe really shines.
Start with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry, and then level up with a few pieces of blue cotton candy to evoke splashing waves.
With The Lost Boy, you get a Disney-inspired tropical cocktail with a more mature feel. Key ingredients include white rum, dark rum, and allspice liqueur.
Serve this beverage in a funky island lowball glass with a leafy garnish to reference the jungle setting where the lost boys are typically found.
Cheers!
