MUST TRY Drinks at Universal Orlando Mardi Gras in 2025


Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras is in full swing! While there is a smaller selection this year, with 13 food and beverage booths, the drinks have been excellent for the most part.  Mardi Gras at Universal runs February 1 through March 30, 2025.
Here are my favorite alcoholic drinks worth the money at  Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval so far. As always, my tastebuds may differ from yours, and that’s okay.

Best Drinks at Universal Mardi Gras 2025

Pimm’s Cup

Pimm’s No 1 Cup, Seagram’s ginger ale garnished with fresh cut orange, strawberry, lemon and cucumbers.
This is the perfect drink if you want an adult beverage, but don’t want to taste the alcohol or get lit. Super refreshing, and a great choice on a hot park day.

Price:

  • 20 oz. Souvenir Cup $16.50
  • Refill $13.50
  • Single Serve $13.50

Location:

  • French Quarter Sips, across from The Revenge of The Mummy ride

La Tormenta

Cuervo Tradicional blanco tequila, lime juice, orange juice, dragon fruit puree, passion fruit puree and smoked sea salt
Surprisingly really good for a batched drink! Fruity, sweet, sour, and delicious.

Price:

  • 20 oz. Souvenir Cup $6.50
  • Refill $13.50
  • Single Serve $13.50

Location:

  • Mexico booth

Frozen Irish Coffee

Jameson Irish whiskey, JF Haden's Espresso Liqueur, cold brew concentrate and vanilla ice cream.
This is my favorite Mardi Gras drink for 2025. It tastes like a boozy Wendy’s Frosty. Heavy on the booze.

Price:

  • $13.50

Location:

  • Coca-Cola Market Square, Battery Park

Doberge Cake Cocktail

360 Sorrento Lemon vodka, 360 Double Chocolate vodka, vanilla cream syrup, cupcake cold foam, and Sprite
Tastes like you're drinking a liquid form of King Cake. The cupcake cold foam was best part. I appreciate that this cocktail does not taste artificial.

Price:

  • 20 oz. souvenir cup $16.50
  • $13.50 refill
  • $13.50 single serve

Location:

  • Coca-Cola Market Square, Battery Park

Banana's Fosters Fizz

Cruzan Aged Dark Rum, Planteray O.F.T.D. rum, Bols crème de banana and Barq’s Creme Soda.
Boozy twist on the classic New Orleans dessert. This drink was SO SO strong. I had to nurse this one. This is what you order if your family has been driving you bonkers all day in the park. Not very sweet at all if you prefer your adult beverages on the less sweet side.

Price:

  • 20 oz. Souvenir Cup $16.50
  • Refill $13.50, 12 oz
  • Single Serve $13.50

Location:

  • CocaCola Market Square, Battery Park

Honorable Mentions are from The Cursed Coconut in Universal CityWalk

Supernatural Spritz

Bonne Chance sparkling wine, peach syrup and rosemary.

Price:

  • $11.00

Eclipse Espresso Martini

560 Vodka Madagascar Vanilla, DeKuyper Creme de Cacao, cold brew concentrate and simple syrup with a gold glitter spray.  This drink is $4 less than the Universal Studios Florida Mardi Gras version, and not nearly as sweet.

Price:

  • $15.50

Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando runs from Feb. 1 until March 30, 2025.
