You won't find a bigger cocktail in Disney than the Seven Seas Lagoon (copycat recipe below)! This tropical cocktail is found at both The Wave and Top of the World Lounge at Disney World's Contemporary Resort.
Measuring at 24 ounces (in a whopping 51 ounce glass!), the Seven Seas Lagoon is meant to be shared between two people and includes:
"Skyy Vodka, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, pineapple juice, soda water, lime, and agave."
Although missing from Disney World's menu, we included some blue curaçao in our Seven Seas Lagoon copycat recipe. As Figment knows, in order to make that yellow drink turn green, you must add a bit of blue!
So what turns this green drink blue in the dark? A glow cube, of course! Like the classic Blue Glow-tini, this one lights up blue. It looks epic glowing in a 51 ounce fish bowl glass!
Without the blue glow cube, the Seven Seas Lagoon registers a beautiful sea green, like a Hawaiian lagoon. For those not familiar, the Seven Seas Lagoon is the body of water that serves the ferry boats to Magic Kingdom. This is one playful cocktail!
Swimming in the Seven Seas Lagoon drink are gummy Swedish Fish and green apple boba popping pearls! If you want to eat these, you'll need to go fishing (using a wide straw or a spoon).
The Mickey straws adorning the cocktail aren't enough to retrieve the popping boba pearls from the bottom of the Seven Seas Lagoon cocktail. But who can resist a Mickey straw, especially one adorned with peach gummy rings, meant to mimic life preservers? We are glad Disney is thinking of our safety while on vacation (ha ha).
Sure it's cute, but how does it taste? Thanks to the soda water, this cocktail is incredibly smooth and refreshing. Lightly sweetened with agave, it's not overly thick or sugary like other Disney cocktails. The flavor is similar to soda, infused with pineapple, and a hint of coconut. For us, it was a very nice change of pace drinking a cocktail with carbonation. If you're real thirsty, we think you could drink a whole one and not be tired of it (which is equivalent to two alcoholic beverages). Bottoms Up!

Notes
You will have leftover green apple boba popping pearls. These make excellent worrt eggs in Disney's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Jabba Juice copycat recipe. See all Star Wars Galaxy's Edge drink recipes here.
If you have leftover blue curaçao and pineapple juice, we highly recommend this Polynesian Resort Moku Niu copycat recipe!
