The Spicy Honey Apricot Cocktail from the 2022 DCA Food and Wine Festival mixed rye whiskey with apricot, orange, lemon, spicy honey syrup, and bitters. Fans loved the balance of sweetness and heat and often used it as a palate cleanser after richer dishes. It has not returned, but later festivals continued the apricot theme.
The Make It Blue, Make It Pink cocktail at the Broken Spell Lounge uses Empress 1908 Butterfly Pea Gin, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, and a side of lemon juice. It starts blue, and when the lemon is poured in, it instantly turns pink. Priced at $18.00, it is the signature Sleeping Beauty themed drink at the Disneyland Hotel.
The Fuzzy Tauntaun at Oga’s Cantina is a peach‑citrus cocktail topped with Buzz Button foam that creates a numbing, tingling sensation. Made with Ketel One Peach & Orange Blossom Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps, and orange–tangerine juice, it costs $19.50 in 2026. Reservations are recommended, and drinks cannot be taken to‑go.
