This Pandora-Inspired Drink Has Instagram Freaking Out
On Saturday, Disney World's Animal Kingdom theme park opened an entire section dedicated to the 2009 movie Avatar. And though people have lined up around Pandora: World of Avatar to check out the rides and scenery, one of the biggest hits in the entire park is the most Instagrammable theme park drink yet.
The Night Blossom is available at the Pongu Pongu Lounge, which translates to "Party Party" in the Na'vi language from the movie. The fictional backstory behind the restaurant is that it was created by an expat who moved to Pandora and never left. But that expat must have pretty good Internet service, because he or she created a drink that aligns with every Instagram trend in the book.
It's a mixture of limeade with apple and desert pear flavors, layered on top of one another and topped with passion fruit boba balls. To me, it tastes like sour Skittles — sugary sweet with a layer of tart sour flavor on top. Disney fans say it's similar to the recent Violet Lemonade drink sold for a limited time at Epcot.
You can also get it in a souvenir glass that has a glowing "unadelta" seed.
They also offer a boozy version: the Mo'ara Margarita, with strawberry and blood orange flavors and strawberry boba balls.
When I tried the Night Blossom at a media preview event last week, I knew I had to Instagram it before I even took a sip. The drink seems like an otherworldly cousin to the Unicorn Frappuccino, with its bright colored layers and fun topping. You just have to take a photo, especially with the scenic world of Pandora as a backdrop. And it's clear that everyone is doing just that—after they wait hours in line for the new rides.
