If you thought Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at Disneyland was already chaotic, immersive, and wildly entertaining…it turns out there’s a whole other layer of magic happening behind the bar. In true Trader Sam’s fashion, some of the best drinks and bites here aren’t even on the menu — they’re secret creations dreamed up by the skippers themselves and shared by word of mouth.

These off-menu cocktails are part inside joke, part bartender flex, and part “if you know, you know.” If you’re lucky enough to catch the right skipper on the right night, you just might get to order one of these legendary concoctions.

Secret Drinks Worth Asking For

Zombiekiller

Can’t decide between a Zombie and a Painkiller?

Skipper Jenny solved that problem with the Zombiekiller — a mashup that blends the dark, boozy punch of a Zombie with the creamy tropical sweetness of a Painkiller. It’s exactly as dangerous as it sounds.

Makes No Cents
Another Skipper Jenny creation, Makes No Cents is a playful, well-balanced cocktail that lives up to its name.

It’s one of those “trust the skipper” drinks that fans rave about once they finally try it.

Kohala Sunset
Created by Skipper Felipe, the Kohala Sunset leans into bright, island flavors and layered colors that look just as good as they taste.

It’s tropical, refreshing, and feels very on-brand for Trader Sam’s.

My Thing
Skipper Melissa’s first-ever original drink, My Thing, has become a fan favorite over time.

It’s smooth, slightly sweet, and one of those cozy, comforting cocktails you’d happily order again.

Hesh’s Garden
A fresh, botanical-style drink made by Skipper Hesh…

…this one has lighter, herb-forward vibes and feels like a palate cleanser between heavier tiki drinks.

Victory Lap
Created by Skipper Maddie, this celebratory cocktail is exactly what it sounds like…

…something you order when you’re ending your night on a high note.

“Uncle Dave”
If you love an Old Fashioned, this is your drink.

Created by Skipper Jordan, the Uncle Dave keeps things spirit-forward and sophisticated.

Temple of the Forbidden Rye
Inspired by Indiana Jones Adventure and designed by Skipper Melissa, this one blends whiskey vibes with Trader Sam’s theatrical flair.

Even if she’s not working, just ask — many skippers know how to make it.

Passionate Plume
Created by Skipper Stephanie, this gin-based drink mixes grapefruit, citrus, cinnamon, passionfruit, and orange bitters…

…for something bright, complex, and beautifully balanced.

Trinidad Sour
A cult-classic cocktail that Skipper Felipe is known for making, the Trinidad Sour is rich, complex, and spice-forward thanks to its heavy use of bitters.

It’s a great pick if you love bold flavors and something that feels a little more “craft cocktail” than tiki juice bomb.

Sangria
Skipper Maddie and Skipper Melissa are behind this Trader Sam’s-style Sangria, which blends wine with tropical fruit flavors for something light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink.

It’s a great option if you want a break from rum-heavy cocktails.

“Mel and Me” (or “Melon Me”)
Another Skipper Maddie creation, this playful drink leans into bright, fruity flavors with a melon-forward profile.

However you pronounce it, it’s one of those easygoing, sunny sippers that feels perfect for a laid-back tiki night.

Paper Plane
Skipper Jordan’s take on the Paper Plane cocktail brings a Trader Sam’s twist to the modern classic.

It’s citrusy, balanced, and a great choice if you’re craving something spirit-forward without going full tiki sweet.

Skipper Sam
Yes — there’s actually a drink called Skipper Sam created by a skipper named Sam (no relation to Trader Sam himself).

It’s one of those mysterious, “ask and see what happens” orders that perfectly match the bar’s chaotic energy.

Yes…There’s Secret Food Too

Trader Sam’s doesn’t just hide drinks — there’s secret food floating around too!

Chicken Karaage

Japanese-style fried chicken that’s crispy, juicy, and wildly underrated.

Pork Belly Adobo

A rich, savory off-menu dish that fans swear by.

Japanese Fried Chicken
This crispy, flavorful fried chicken has popped up during mixology classes and special events…

…and folks have been begging Disney to make it permanent. If you see it offered or hear it mentioned, it’s absolutely worth trying.

Katsu Sando
Another experimental kitchen item, the Katsu Sando is a Japanese-style fried cutlet sandwich that feels like it belongs on a trendy fusion menu.

It’s hearty, comforting, and pairs surprisingly well with tiki cocktails.

Ube Brownie
This dessert is as pretty as it is delicious, featuring the nutty-sweet flavor of ube (purple yam).

It’s a fun, unique treat you won’t find on the standard Trader Sam’s menu.

Fish and Chips

Perfect for when you want that salty, acidic combo… or honestly, any time you want comfort food with your tiki drinks.

Loco Moco Wagyu Cheeseburger

A full-on indulgence: Kalua-style pork, loco moco gravy, Havarti cheese, a sunny-side egg, and fries or rice. Yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds.

The Golden Rule of Secret Menus

Here’s the thing: these drinks and dishes aren’t guaranteed. Availability depends on the skipper, ingredients, and how busy the bar is. The best approach you can take is to be polite, patient, and ask nicely — especially if you recognize a skipper’s name from one of these creations.

Trader Sam’s has always been about storytelling, spontaneity, and a little bit of controlled chaos, and the secret menu just makes it that much more magical. We’re always uncovering the newest items to hit Disney’s menus, even if they might take a little extra searching!
