Disney adds mixers to the Festival of the Masters

Over the past year, Disney has gotten a lot more creative with its liquor.

A year ago, it started serving alcohol at the Magic Kingdom for the first time (beer and wine at dinner at Be Our Guest). Then last spring, it added food and beverages to the Flower & Garden Festival — including, memorably, a rum-spiked Dole Whip.

Epcot also has seen the debut of the “ice cream martini” at L’Artisan des Glaces — your favorite ice cream topped with Grand Marnier, Rhum from Martinique, or whipped cream flavored vodka.

And now Disney is spiking another event: The Festival of the Masters, the annual gathering of artists taking place Nov. 8-9 at Downtown Disney. 

The festival always showcases limited-edition artworks and artist appearances as well as family-friendly crafts and entertainment. This year, it’s getting a decidedly 21-and-over twist: “Mixers and Masters,” which will put cocktails at center stage.

Downtown Disney restaurants will be featuring specialty cocktails like the Pinkberry Martini from Wolfgang Puck Cafe (pictured) or a pineapple mojito at Bongos Cuban Cafe, the Disney Parks Blog is reporting.

In addition three times a day experts will put on “The Art of Mixology,” a 10-minute demonstration at the Waterside Stage.

Admission and parking for the event are free. Alas, the cocktails are not.
