Violet Lemonade Recipe (Disney Epcot Inspired)

This Violet Lemonade copycat recipe is the perfect way to experience Disney's Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival at home! Epcot's classic drink wows with its subtle floral flavor, accompanied by tartness from refreshing lemonade. Bright magenta in color, it's perfectly Insta-worthy. Sure, there may be copycat recipes circling the internet out there, but we think this one is closest to the original!

Many recreations forget this is not only a violet lemonade, but a desert violet lemonade. There's no need to add food coloring to achieve this drink's iconic color! Instead, Epcot surely uses Monin Desert Pear Syrup. You can't make this iconic beverage without adding this tart, sweet syrup. It gives the drink its beautiful bright magenta color, not to mention it’s the same key ingredient in Pandora's Night Blossom beverage!

In order to capture the magic of Epcot's version, the slush must also have the right consistency. You know the texture we mean...it's almost creamy, a texture that can't be achieved in a blender with ice. After some tinkering, we found the right texture using a Zoku Slush and Shake Maker which is also very cost-effective.

Simply freeze the Slush Maker cup, pour your beverage in, stir occasionally for 10 minutes, and viola! You have a slushy that's creamy enough to fool anyone into thinking it came out of a commercial slushy machine.

At Diznfy, we sure love our Disney drinks! They are the quickest way to get a Disney fix at home. The Violet Lemonade copycat recipe is no different, requiring just 4 ingredients. We're happy we added the Zoku Shake & Shake Maker to our kitchen gadgets, and excited to use it whenever we want a Disney-style slush.
