REVIEW: This Majorly Underrated EPCOT Food and Wine Drink Will Be On Our Minds For Weeks

The United Kingdom Beer Cart is serving up a specialty cocktail for this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!

Time for a drink!

The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to the UK Beer Cart to check out a special drink.

Drinks

The Sparkling Cucumber-Gin Cocktail is made with Fords Gin, Blackberry Brandy, Cucumber Syrup, Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade, and Maschio Prosecco, and is priced at $17.50.

Sparkling Cucumber-Gin Cocktail

This drink is refreshing with the perfect amount of bubbles! It’s got strong blackberry and cucumber flavors that work together very well, which was pleasantly surprising. Each sip ends with a nice taste of citrusy gin rather than floral notes, and we’d totally get it again, especially on a hot summer day.

OVERALL

Lots of people may walk right past this spot and don’t expect it to have such a great offering for Food & Wine, but this is your warning to NOT skip this spot if you’re looking for a delicious drink that’ll be great for a summer day during the festival.

A fantastic drink!

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
