Disney just got a little bit more adult-friendly with the debut of Cocktail Popsicles at Epcot's Italy Pavilion. With these boozy treats, you can cool down and unwind.
Appropriately timed to correspond to the start of summer at Disney parks, Epcot's Italy Pavilion is now offering Cocktail Popsicles by Pop Fusions. The boozy desserts will be available from the Via Napoli beverage and snack cart, where customers can choose between three tasty flavors: Sparkling Strawberry Wine, Berry Sangria, or Limoncello. Both the Sparkling Strawberry Wine and Berry Sangria flavors are made with wine, while the Limoncello variety is made with Limoncello liqueur.
For Disney guests who aren't 21 or older, there are also some non-alcoholic popsicle options that sound just as tasty. These kid-friendly varieties include a classic Strawberry Popsicle and a sweet Tiramisu Popsicle.
