The Concert Feature

If you were lucky and happened to be at Disneyland when the Carnation ice-cream stations at the Plaza Gardens were open, you would have the treat of enjoying Fantasia ice cream.

This mixture of Banana, Cherry, and Pistachio meld together into a very particular Disneyland taste memory experience. It is thematically similar to spumoni (sub chocolate for banana) and I had created a spumoni-based cocktail (Scootiki Sling for the 2012 ‘Scootiki’ event) and knew that the flavor really works (with the native spice notes of a Demerara). This time through, I also chose to make pistachio Orgeat. It was a harmonious outcome.

THE CONCERT FEATURE
¾ oz lemon juice
½ oz pistachio Orgeat
½ oz dark cherry syrup
½ oz Giffard Banane du Brésil
1½ oz Demerara rum
¾ oz Virgin Islands rum

Flash blend all ingredients with 6 ounces of crushed ice and pour into footed sling or snifter. Garnish with mint, lemon swath, and cherry on top.

If you close your eyes as you taste, you can just make out the red and white stripes of the dance pavillion at Carnation Plaza Gardens.
