What is the best and the worst cocktail you have had on Disney property?
I have recently returned from WDW.
The best cocktail I had on this recent trip was at the refurbished Steakhouse 71 Lounge, formerly The Wave, in the Disney Contemporary Resort.
I had one of the restaurants new specialty cocktails called the Raspberry Gin Sour, made with Tanqueray Gin, lemon juice, and an in-house made raspberry and sage simple syrup. The drink was very gin forward, just as I like, and not too sweet. I was surprises by the bright pink-red color of the drink when the mixologist placed the drink in front of me at the bar. You would think the bright color would indicate a sweet drink, but it was not too sweet at all. The subtle flavors of raspberry and sage were delicate and delicious. We stopped by late one weeknight for a drinks and appetizers after leaving the Magic Kingdom theme park. And yes, we again selected and sampled the famous Bacon & Eggs appetizer! The lounge staff was wonderful -- served up great drinks, accommodated requests for delicious appetizers, and provided entertaining conversation. Everything you would expect in a late night stop for a drink.

Other great cocktails were had at the Space 220 Lounge, The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, and at Citricos in the Grand Floridian Resort.
The worst cocktail I had on this recent trip was at The House of Blues in Disney Springs. This restaurant and bar looks like a fun place to stop for a drink and we had this place on our must visit list. I ordered a Crossroads Cadillac Margarita. It tasted mostly like sour mix and I believe the barkeep forgot to add the tequila!?!
And yes, I know, it is hard to compare any margarita at WDW to one you can order from the Epcot Mexico Pavilion Choza de Margarita kiosk or the Frontera Cocina Restaurant.
Has anyone ever taken a sip of a cocktail you ordered and requested your money back?
