And do it successfully!
It may have been a costly success, but my mother was financing my little trip and I thought it was worth every penny! Some people were actually really intense about and even made "Keep Calm and Drink Around the World" shirts for the occasion.
I did some research before, and the biggest thing that the other blogs got wrong was the level of drunk that you will get. Honestly, if you are a college kid used to drinking a lot you will be fine. Even without eating a lot along the way (trying to save some money) I had no problem. There were definitely times I felt tipsy and times I felt a little drunk, but there was never a time where I felt out of control or sick in any way.
Here are the countries I "visited" and the drinks I got!
Mexico: Lime flavored frozen margarita
-I actually didn't get carded in Mexico haha but the margarita was delicious. It tasted pretty tequila-y but I enjoyed it for my first drink.
Norway: A shot of "Linie Aquavit Glacier"
-Ok so this was pretty disgusting. I had to chase it with my mom's diet coke because it tasted like a mix of jager, peppermint schnapps, and vodka with some spices mixed in. Ew.
China: The "Yuan Yang" drink
-Commonly referred to as the "Tipsy Ducks In Love" drink. It was a mix of chocolate, some other unknown stuff and a generous amount of Jim Beam. The chocolate and whiskey went really well together much to my surprise!
Germany: Oktoberfest beer
-As I've previously stated I really dislike beer, but I felt that I just had to get a beer in Germany! And as expected it was pretty gross to me but I fought through it... and then poured the rest in the bushes. Oops!
Italy: A shot of limoncello
-Italy was my favorite place. It was just beautiful, and had beautiful waiters who recommended the limoncello and a cannoli. Yummm! "No! Leave the gun! Take the cannoli!" (Godfather reference)
America: Red Stag Lemonade
-Well this one was very refreshing. It was like a bourbon flavored slushie with a dash of lemonade. Very strong haha I think this is the point at which I felt the most drunk. That's 'merica for ya!
Japan: Green tea with sake
-Ok so I knew that when I went to Japan I had to try sake, but unfortunately they didn't have sake bombs so I had to get a mixed drink. And yeah it was pretty gross...
Morocco: Strawberry daiquiri
-Well I don't think there was too much they could do for "authentic" Moroccan drinks, but as far as daiquiris go this one was just that... a daiquiri. But it is one of my dreams to go to Africa and Morocco would be really nice!
France: Glass of Riesling wine
-Well since I'll be spending 6 weeks in France, I figured a nice glass of wine would suffice here. It was a nice change up from the liquor. I do love wine!
The UK: Magner's Hard Cider
-I've only had Magner's one other place and it was at a little Irish bar in Queens. But ever since I have spent my life searching for Magner's cider only to be disappointed with Woodchuck and Angry Orchard. So imagine my delight upon finding Magner's here! ...And then I found out that they only had Magner's pear cider but whatever I had it anyways and it was perfect.
Canada: "Torontopolitan"
-Ok so this was really just a little mixed slushie vodka drink. It was really small and only took a few gulps to get down but it was delicious nonetheless!
So that completes my journey and how I successfully drank around the world at Epcot! I can cross that off the bucket list :)
