What Is Drinking Around the World at EPCOT?
Located at EPCOT at Walt Disney World Resort, World Showcase features 11 pavilions representing different countries around a scenic lagoon. The idea is simple: enjoy one drink in each country as you travel around the world no passport required.
The 11 countries are:
Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, The American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom and Canada.
You can start anywhere, but most guests begin in Mexico and move clockwise.

🍹 Best Drinks in Every EPCOT Country
Here’s exactly what to order in each pavilion including fan favourites and hidden gems.
🇲🇽 Mexico Pavilion
Must-try drink: Avocado Margarita
Where to get it: La Cava del Tequila
This cult favourite blends tequila, melon liqueur, fresh avocado and lime for a surprisingly smooth cocktail. If you prefer something classic, opt for the traditional frozen lime margarita.
Alternative: Jalapeño Margarita for a spicy kick.
🇳🇴 Norway Pavilion
Must-try drink: Viking Coffee
A warming mix of Baileys and Kamora Coffee Liqueur, perfect if you’re visiting in cooler months.
Beer lovers should try Einstök White Ale.
🇨🇳 China Pavilion
Must-try drink: Tipsy Ducks in Love
Vodka, coffee liqueur, black tea and chocolate syrup, it tastes like an iced mocha with a serious kick.
This one is dangerously easy to drink!
🇩🇪 Germany Pavilion
Must-try drink: Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen
Light, refreshing and perfect in Florida’s heat. If you’re sharing snacks from Sommerfest, it pairs brilliantly with pretzels and bratwurst.
🇮🇹 Italy Pavilion
Must-try drink: Limoncello Margarita
A bright citrus twist on the Mexican classic. You’ll also find excellent Italian wines and Prosecco here if cocktails aren’t your thing.
🇺🇸 The American Adventure
Must-try drink: Seasonal Craft Beer
The American pavilion rotates regional craft beers, especially during EPCOT festivals like the Food & Wine Festival.
If you’re visiting during autumn, look for pumpkin ales.
🇯🇵 Japan Pavilion
Must-try drink: Violet Sake
This photogenic purple cocktail blends sake, peach schnapps and cranberry juice. It’s sweet, refreshing and very Instagram-worthy.
Sake flights are also available for something more authentic.
🇲🇦 Morocco Pavilion
Must-try drink: Moroccan Mule
A North African twist on the Moscow Mule, with vodka and refreshing citrus flavours.
This pavilion is often quieter making it a great mid-route break.
🇫🇷 France Pavilion
Must-try drink: Grand Marnier Orange Slush
Possibly the most famous drink in EPCOT. Sweet, frozen and deceptively strong this one sneaks up on you.
Champagne lovers can also grab a glass of Veuve Clicquot.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom Pavilion
Must-try drink: Snakebite
A half cider, half lager mix served at the Rose & Crown Pub. It’s crisp, refreshing and very easy to drink.
If gin is your thing, the UK pavilion has an excellent gin selection too.
🇨🇦 Canada Pavilion
Must-try drink: Ottawa Apple
Crown Royal Canadian Whisky mixed with apple flavours a smooth and slightly sweet way to finish your world tour.
If you prefer beer, try La Fin du Monde.
