For those looking for a more adult take on Disney's beloved Dole Whip treat, the park just debuted a new rum-spiked version called the King's Cooler.
If you're unfamiliar, Dole Whip is a dairy-free soft serve dessert that has long been a staple at Disney parks. Now the theme park is giving the beloved treat an adult twist by spiking the soft serve with rum. The King's Cooler as the new treat is known, takes Disney's classic pineapple Dole Whip and injects it with rum. The whole things is then topped with coconut watermelon red syrup to create a flavor that is strikingly similar to a Pina Colada. The tasty treat is a limited-edition offering created as part of the park's Lion King menu and is available from Tamu Tamu in the Animal Kingdom.
