VIDEO: We Tried ALL the New Club Cool Flavors at EPCOT

by | Oct 25, 2021 | EPCOT, WDW Blog, WDW Food

During a recent trip to Walt Disney World, WDW Magazine co-owners tried all eight new Club Cool flavors at EPCOT.

In the name of journalism, WDW Magazine co-owners Steph and Danny Shuster recently visited the newly reopened Club Cool. The famous Coca-Cola tasting shop at EPCOT had closed down in September of 2019 in preparation for EPCOT’s historic renovations.

Because I’m a sick and twisted managing editor, I tasked my fearless leaders to try all eight Club Cool flavors of Coca-Cola, including the returning Beverly. Their teeth probably a little more rotten than when they left, Steph and Danny returned from their trip with an amazing video that captures their taste-testing experience.

Here’s what Danny thought of each of the eight Coke flavors available to sample.

Viva Raspberry (Moldova)

Disney’s description: Viva Raspberry is a delicious sparkling beverage from Moldova, a country in Eastern Europe. The slightly tart, yet sweet raspberry flavor is complimented by a hint of raspberry juice.

What Danny thought: “That tastes like raspberry. Raspberry and a little bit of cough syrup kind of flavor profile. It’s all right.”

Sprite Cucumber (Russia)

Disney’s description: Sprite originally launched in 1961 and is now enjoyed in multiple countries around the world. Sprite Cucumber from Russia has a crisp cucumber flavor, providing a refreshing twist on this classic lemon-lime beverage.

What Danny thought: “That’s lovely. I’d like to mix that with some gin. Little summery cocktail. That’s cool and refreshing.”

Smart Sour Plum

Disney’s description: Suan Mei Tang or Sour Plum Tea is a traditional Chinese beverage that has existed for over 1,000 years. Smart Sour Plum has a savory, sweet and tart flavor that is considered by many to be the ultimate sparkling thirst quencher on a hot day.

What Danny thought: “That one’s like sophisticated. All the other ones are kind of sugary, and this one’s like a grown-up drink.”

Royal Wattamelon (Philippines)

Disney’s description: Royal Wattemelon is a sparkling beverage with a refreshingly sour watermelon flavor available exclusively in the Philippines.

What Danny thought: “Can I get that frozen as a slush? Because that would be great.”

Minute Maid Joy Apple Lychee (Korea)

*Danny’s favorite*

Disney’s description: Minute Maid Joy Apple Lychee is a still beverage with ripe apple and lychee notes. Lychee is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree native to southern China and now cultivated in many parts of the world.

What Danny thought: “I’m giving a slight edge because it’s not carbonated.

Country Club Merengue (Dominican Republic)

Disney’s description: Enjoy the smooth, creamy tropical fruit taste of Country Club Merengue from the Dominican Republic. Pronounced “muh-reng-gey,” the music and dance is just as popular as this sparkling sweet treat.

What Danny thought: “It reminds me a bit of a creamsicle, but there’s something else.”

Bon Bon Anglais (Madagascar)

Disney’s description: Bon Bon Anglais, exclusive to Madagascar, offers a unique taste experience with a blend of tropical fruit flavors.

What Danny thought: “This smells … do you know the flavor of artificial banana in Runts candies? That’s what this smells like. Sorry, Madagascar, do not like.”

Beverly (Italy)

Disney’s description: Beverly, with its bitter flavor, is a popular non-alcoholic aperitif that is a traditional part of Italian refreshment culture.

What Danny thought: “I thought Beverly was red. Is that just because I’m thinking of Campari? … Here we go. It’s Beverly. You love it or you hate it.”

A Cast Member stepped in to remind Danny and Steph that Beverly, the divisive Coke flavor at Club Cool, acts as a palette cleanser. Danny says it’s “herbaceous and powerful.”
