Copy Disney Park’s Tokyo Sunset Cocktail at Home in Four Easy Steps Thanks to TikTok
Epcot is closed until July 15, which makes it pretty hard to drink around the world with Disney resort's signature cocktails. However, a couple of recipes have popped up all over social media that allow you to re-create the best of the theme park's offerings right at home. One TikTok user, Bethany Vinton, recently posted her version of one of the theme park's most beloved drinks, the Tokyo Sunset.
It's a great summery cocktail, usually purchased at the outdoor sake bar in Epcot's Japan Pavillion. Since that's not possible right now, Vinton's dupe is a pretty perfect alternative on hot summer days. Vinton has also re-created Epcot's La Cava Avocado Margarita and the Tipsy Ducks in Love drink on TikTok, if that's more your vibe.
Here’s the Recipe:
1.5 oz. Malibu rum
1.5 oz. peach schnapps
1.5 oz. banana liqueur
4 oz. pineapple juice
Splash of grenadine
Here’s how it’s done:
Vinton whips up her version of the Tokyo Sunset super quickly by putting ice in a shaker and combining all the liquor in it, then adding four ounces of pineapple Juice and shaking it up. To give it the red and yellow color that the drink gets its name from, she pours some grenadine to the top and adds orange for garnish (in some photos of the real cocktail, you can see Epcot also sometimes adds a cherry for extra oomph). This is what your final product should look like:
The Tokyo Sunset cocktail is just one of Disney's classic recipes that people have started re-creating at home during quarantine. Other popular ones include the peanut-butter-and-jelly milkshake served at the ’50s Prime Time Café in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Disney also recently shared its recipe for the famed Cookie Fries from the Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, as well as all the secrets to perfecting its well-known Mickey-shaped beignets. You pretty much have all of your favorite Disney treats at your fingertips, even if the parks are closed.
