REVIEW: Olive Oil in a Cocktail? Well, Disney World Did It, and We're INTRIGUED

It’s been almost a year since GEO-82 opened in EPCOT, and we are still BIG fans of this gorgeous lounge. Seriously, this bar is just SO COOL.

New drinks alert!

First, it’s a chance to have drinks INSIDE Spaceship Earth, which in and of itself is a pretty cool experience. But the lounge itself also feels so modern and fancy, and, well, most of the drinks really are out of this world, appropriately enough. So when we discovered three NEW drinks on the menu at GEO-82, we made our way back to the lounge to try two out. So let’s go!

Yes, some new drinks have arrived at GEO-82, and we ordered them! The first is the Pink Peppercorn Clover Club for $25, made with Fords Gin, Dolin Blanc Vermouth de Chambéry, Raspberry, Pink Peppercorn, and Lemon. Well, that certainly SOUNDS interesting, right? This drink is SO pretty, so it’s already got that going for it. But looks aren’t everything. First, you’re going to taste that gin right off the bat, but there’s a lovely fruity undertone with the raspberry and lemon. Those blend well with the pink peppercorn, too (and that one is a subtle flavor).

Pink Peppercorn Clover Club

The froth isn’t too thick, but it does add a beautiful, smooth texture. We would describe this drink as mature, not something you’d want for drinking around the world, but something you’d order if you’re feeling like something a little sophisticated. The creator of the drink, Kimyata, who is a bartender at GEO-82, told us the history of the drink. There’s a gentlemen’s club in Philadelphia called the Clover Club, and this was their signature drink, but Kimyata made it a bit more drinkable. You gotta’ love just how much knowledge Disney World bartenders have!

We also got to try the Tuscan Olive Oil Martini for $26. It’s made with VUSA African Vodka, Dolin Dry Vermouth de Chambéry, Olive Oil, Tomato, and Parmesan Crisp. This one is SO unique, and being the cheese lovers that we are, we ate the Parmesan crisp first, which adds a cheesy, tangy note when you start sipping on the drink. This drink is savory, and the vodka is pretty predominant.

The olive oil is subtle, and we’re still surprised at how the drink doesn’t separate, given that there is oil in it. Disney magic, we guess! But yeah, this one is a very bold drink that’s more for sipping casually. If you love a spirit-forward, stronger cocktail, we recommend trying it.

More of a savory drink

A third drink also dropped, but we didn’t try it this trip. It’s called the Clarified Bee’s Knees and it’s made with Barr Hhill Reserve Tom Cat Gin, Honey, Lemon, and Thyme for $25.
