Happy Friday! With the warm temperatures, this week I’ve been dreaming of a cruise–a jungle cruise that is! I had such a fun time visiting Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland that I couldn’t help making my own tropical drinks at home. Just like the one at Disneyland, Trader Sam’s Skipper Sipper is a tropical mix of pineapple, orange, lime, and mint!
Inspired by The Jungle Cruise, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar is a magical tiki bar located at the Disneyland Hotel. It has a lot of fun drinks and this non-alcoholic Skipper Sipper is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day!

To make Trader Sam’s Skipper Sipper, place the mint leaves, lime juice, agave, and Falernum in a glass. Falernum is common in tropical drinks and comes in two varieties, an alcoholic liqueur and a non-alcoholic syrup. Since the original Skipper Sipper is a non-alcoholic drink, I used the non-alcoholic syrup version. I found a bottle on Amazon, but it is possible to make your own syrup if you want to.
For a bit of fun, I used a tiki glass for this drink, but you can use any glass you’d like. I found that a 16 ounce glass works well. Use a cocktail muddler to muddle the mint leaves in the glass. Add the pineapple-orange juice and ice. Top with club soda and garnish with a couple extra mint leaves.
Enjoy Trader Sam’s Skipper Sipper and if you’re heading to Disneyland, be sure to visit Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar!
