This New Trend Is Officially Taking Over Disney Springs (and You're Gonna Love It)

As people who literally review food for a living, we’ve seen a lot of food and beverage trends come and go.

Disney Springs

In Disney World, we’ve lived through the over-the-top cookie era, the blue curacao craze, and, of course, now we seem to see ube everywhere we turn. But one trend we’re seeing in Disney Springs that we do not mind at all? The adorable drink animals!

Perhaps the restaurant that has jumped on this trend the hardest is eet by Maneet Chauhan. This spot tucked in the back of the Marketplace section of Disney Springs, has already introduced several iterations of the “cute little animal with your drink” trend.

Dragon’s Breath

The Dragon’s Breath beverage came topped with an itty bitty (stinkin’ adorable) dragon, and you could choose from a few different colors for your toy. During the Flavors of Florida event in the summer, the restaurant also had the Hank’s Gulf Coast Sunset drink, and for that one, you could pick an animal from a bucket of a variety of options.

We fell in love with the octopus in the top hat, naturally. I mean, who wouldn’t love this guy? He’s got a mustache!

Look at all of them!

But eet isn’t the only restaurant going nuts with the cute little drink toys. The Polite Pig has done this trend a couple of times with small pigs (no surprise there on the animal choice). One version was the Pigsty, a frozen cappuccino blend with rich chocolate and a splash of spiced rum. Another time, they offered the Pig Lagoon, which was a blend of lemon, lime, coconut cream, and blue Curacao syrup, with or without rum.

Of course, the originator of this trend has to be the Duck Duck Razz cocktail at The Boathouse, which has been around for YEARS. (In fact, it’s gone viral in the past due to its cuteness.) It’s made with Skyy Raspberry Vodka, Blue Curacao, lemon juice, and simple syrup…and it’s topped with a rubber duck!

But if you really want to level up your Duck Duck Razz experience with a special souvenir, you can now get the FROZEN Duck Duck Razz — that’s served in a souvenir cup! For $22, this specialty beverage comes in a cup complete with a rubber duck in an Amphicar. This might be the best souvenir cup we’ve ever seen, you guys.

We LOVE this cup!

But this trend doesn’t just stop in Disney World — even major chain restaurants are getting in the groove of the animal drinks! Outback Steakhouse just released its Platypus Punch at select locations, which is a color-changing cocktail with grapefruit vodka, mango, and a keepsake platypus.
