BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 From the Disney Food Blog. Gotta chuckle because I've bought this stuff before and it's actually really good - not too sweet, more alcohol than you'd think. And I'm pretty sure I can buy an entire bottle for what 2 of these cost... Pomegranate Martini at Disney’s Animal KingdomMar 27th, 2012 by AJ.While headed to Dinoland from Asia in Disney’s Animal Kingdom last week, I saw this drink cart (technically called “AK Hot Dog 2 Cart” on my receipt) next to the bridge between Expedition Everest and Finding Nemo: The Musical.In addition to beer and a fun cheese and cracker plate, they were serving Pomegranate Martinis! I had to give that a try…Pomegranate Martini Conquers EverestWhen I asked, I was told that this cart is temporary. It’s there to cater to the Spring Break crowds and may be out again during the Summer.AK Hot Dog 2 Cart - Seriously that's the name on the receipt!But I loved the decor of the cart, even though it will only be around for a short time. Who else paints “Lovely Beer” on the side of a cart besides the Imagineers at Animal Kingdom?! Lovely Beer DecorThe menu was great as well. While they were out of margaritas when I was there, I liked the options for quick, grab-and-go, relatively healthy snacks: cheese and crackers, sliced apples, and Craisins trail mix.Menu - click image for larger versionI hope to find these little cheese and cracker packs in more places in Disney parks. With a good combo of protein and carbs, and not a lot of sugar, I think it’s the perfect mix to keep you going on a long Disney day.Cheese and CrackersOf course, I was interested in the remaining “mixed” drink on the menu — the Pomegranate Martini. Don’t be fooled — you’re not getting a martini glass here in the Animal Kingdom. And you’re not even really getting a “mixed” drink. I was surprised to see the martini come straight out of this bottle, pre-mixed.Pomegranate Martini MixologyThat said, it was a relatively strong drink for what it was — nobody’s going to say that it didn’t have a kick! And it tasted great, so I wasn’t complaining!Pomegranate MartiniPlus, the color is just gorgeous, isn’t it?? I had lots of folks wondering where I’d gotten the beautiful drink as I walked through Animal Kingdom.Just wanted to give you a little heads up about the fun temporary options in the Animal Kingdom if you’re headed that way anytime soon! To be honest, if a drink is what you crave, always head to the Dawa Bar, the Margarita kiosk, or the Yak and Yeti Lounge before hitting up the temp drink carts, but I thought this was a fun find anyway! Plus I wanted to show off my cool Everest + Martini photo at the top of this post — let’s be honest, I’m not the most creative person in the world, so when I take a rad photo I wanna show it to you! ;-Dhttp://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2012/03/27/pomegranate-martini-at-disneys-animal-kingdom/#more-52365 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

polkadotsuitcase 12 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Looks like that falls under that "healthy" category, like dark chocolate and red wine. Mmmmm, anti-oxidants! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
