Recipe: Lemon Sparkling Cocktail

Served port side at the Yacht Grub Outdoor Grill at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival.

The Yacht and Beach Club Resort Hotel is coveted for a reason: an insane pool, walking distance to Epcot, a boat right from Hollywood Studios and a stunning view of The Boardwalk Resort at night.

This seaside escape is perfectly paired with the dining options, which are featured at a stand for Epcot’s 2025 Flower and Garden Festival, called the Yacht Grub Outdoor Grill.

Here’s how you can make one of the three sparkling cocktails in the flight at-home, if you can’t make it to Martha’s Vineyard or the Ale and Compass Lounge.

Review:

This one is STRONG and I added the sugar rim to dull it a bit which added a nice Lemon Head flavor. The drink is much better once the ice has melted and it’s a little less concentrated. I would say to add less limoncello, but then it loses the lemon-y flavor. So I would only adjust the sparkling wine (add less) and club soda (add more), or go heavy with the ice.
