Magic Kingdom’s Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion in Disney World is one of the most popular attractions at the Orlando, Florida park. With it’s doom buggies, hitchhiking ghosts, and totally quotable stretching room monologue—it’s easy to see why the ride has such a cult following.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing the attraction, the basic premise is that you are touring a haunted house with your “ghost host” in your very own your doom buggy.

The tour takes you through some of the spookiest rooms in the house including an eerie portrait gallery where the portraits come to life, a séance room where objects start flying around the room, and of course the ball room where the ghosts are enjoying a never ending dinner party.

With 999 ghosts, there’s room for one more, if you’re interested in choosing the eerie location for your final resting place.

One of the best parts of the ride is the amazing soundtrack which features songs like “Grim Grinning Ghosts” and “The Haunted Mansion Theme” which are both instantly recognizable to Disney fans.

It’s a really fun ride with some great special effects, but what’s even better, is you can celebrate this amazing ride at home with the amazing Haunted Mansion Cocktail!

 Tips for Making Haunted Mansion Cocktail

• Feel free to use a cranberry flavored vodka if you’d want to add a tangy twist.
• Adding the purple colored granulated sugar around the rim is optional, but it adds a festive touch. You can also switch out the color of the sugar to match the theme if you’re hosting guests.
• If you want a non-alcoholic version, simply leave out the vodka.
• Create an extra spooky touch with dry ice instead of regular ice. Be sure to handle with care as it can burn your skin. Add it to the glass and then pour your drink over top.

What is Blue Curacao? 

Blue Curacao is a popular liqueur that has a sweet citrus flavor and a brilliant purple/blue color. It’s often used in cocktails and desserts and can be found at most liquor stores.

The liqueur is made with the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit which is native to the island of Curaçao.

Blue Curacao has a sweet citrus flavor with notes of orange, lemon, and lime. It is often used to add sweetness and color to cocktails.
