Okay, so let’s talk about the Cotton Top Lagoon. This colorful drink is made with a frozen blend of blue raspberry and lemonade, topped with a wave of cotton candy. The cotton candy on top definitely makes this drink LOOK fun, but how does it taste?

Well, let’s just say, you might need to call your dentist after drinking this one. Goodness gracious, this thing was SWEEEEEET! Our reporter even said they didn’t think they’d be able to finish the entire drink because it was just SO sweet.

OOOOO Just Look at That Cotton Candy and the Drink Below!

Flavor-wise though, they said it is good. There is a bit of tanginess from the lemon, and sweetness from the blue raspberry. But, mostly, it tastes like you’re basically DRINKING cotton candy.

If you’ve always dreamt about what cotton candy would taste like in liquid form or you’re a big fan of sweet drinks, this might be a good choice for you.

Ready for a Super Sweet Treat?!

Overall, the drink was really icy and cold. We could see this being a great treat on those extremely hot Florida days.

Our reporter said this drink was too sweet for them, but it might be just the right level of sweetness for you if you really enjoy those types of drinks. We think kids might especially enjoy this icy treat.

Cotton Candy on All Drinks From Now On or No?

If you’re looking for more of a typical lemonade flavor or a frozen drink that isn’t as sweet though, this is probably a “skip” for you.

Want to try it yourself? Head over to Isle of Java right now through April 29th to grab this drink for $5.49. Is the Red Crowned Crane a better cotton-candy topped drink choice for you? Click here to see our review! And be sure to check back with us here at DFB for all the latest Disney news.
