Disney4me Posted August 29 Report Posted August 29 Come with us as we stop by Block & Hans in EPCOT’s American Adventure Pavilion to check out this year’s special EPCOT Food & Wine Festival addition! Block & Hans The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading Block & Hans to check out this year’s Food & Wine Festival specialty item. Menu This year, Block and Hans is serving up a special drink for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival — a Spicy Strawberry-Mango Smoothie. 2026 Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive in! Drinks The special Festival drink this year is the Spicy Strawberry-Mango Smoothie Minute Maid Strawberry Smoothie Mix with spicy mango syrup. The non-boozy version is $6.29. We did not taste any spice or heat at all until the very last sip. We did taste a bit of earthiness in addition to the strawberry and mango, which grounded the flavors and made them taste a little more upscale or gourmet, if you will, which makes this feel appropriate for Food & Wine. Spicy Strawberry-Mango Smoothie The consistency is somewhere between a slush and a smoothie. The Minute Maid strawberry smoothie base usually isn’t quite this icy, so we think whatever they’ve added to make it taste like mango and spicy has changed the consistency. We do like the way it drinks and feels on a hot day. It’s more drinkable than a slush, but you still get those little ice crystals in your mouth that feel cool and refreshing. We could drink a ton of these! Let’s give it a try! This doesn’t taste like a slush that you’ve just added syrup to. It doesn’t taste like a Jolly Rancher or some over-the-top concoction designed for kids or just to have photos taken of it. This is a grown-up, somewhat sophisticated drink for adults without alcohol, though you can add alcohol if you want. This is balanced enough for people who don’t like a spicy margarita or something of that sort, while there’s still enough spice, especially at the end, for people who want a spicy beverage but don’t want alcohol in it. This is tasty! You can also kick it up a notch and order the boozy version of this smoothie with Ole Smoky Strawberry Moonshine for $16.50. OVERALL We didn’t know how we were going to feel about this drink, but we were pleasantly surprised! We think this is something worth checking out during your time at the Food and Wine Festival, especially during a hot Disney day.
