Make Your Favorite Trader Sams Drinks at Home

We are all missing the parks right about now. Some of us are wishing we could bring a little Disney Magic home with us! We have decided to make a “Disney Food at Home” series of Disney Parks recipes for you to try for yourself at home! 

Adults are going through tough times and sometimes an adult beverage or two are needed. (Tell the kids to go to bed early so mom and dad can have some drinks)

In this series, we are going to give you several drink recipes to make your favorite drinks from Trader Sams Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel. Sam is an expert at concocting head-shrinking potions and his travels far and wide allowed him to amass intoxicating ambrosial ingredients for his bubbly brews. We are going to bring his bizarre concoctions home to you in the recipes below!
