If you’re a grown-up Disniac like us and have had the chance to visit the parks a few times, there’s a good chance you have a story involving Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. Featuring locations at both Disneyland and Disney World, the friendly-enough trader who greets every Jungle Cruise passenger with his top hat and collection of shrunken heads opened up one of the best bars in all of Disney. And it serves very delicious and very strong drinks.
Several of us at Inside the Magic, especially this writer, are missing our favorite spot and we’re sure you all are too. So, we dug up a few videos that teach you how to make some of your favorite Trader Sam’s drinks at home!
Check them out:

Now is the perfect time to just sit back, enjoy a few Disney drinks and think of the happiest things. After all, it’s the same as having wings (both things if you do it right), and we hope you can find that state of relaxation.
If Trader Sam’s is not your typical spot, we’ve also worked to create a list of drinks from Disneyland’s Carthay Circle and The Cove at Disney California Adventure for you.
