Making Trader Sam's Drinks at Home
By Jennifer Stuart
Do you love Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar or Grog Grotto? Want to have a taste of Trader Sam's at home?  Read on for more information on how to make Trader Sam's tiki drinks in your own home.
We love Trader Sam's and have managed to visit both the Grog Grotto at Walt Disney World and Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at Disneyland.  You can read our Review of Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar on our blog. We also love having a taste of Trader Sam's at home by making our own Trader Sam's Tiki drinks.  It is easier than you think with a little advance planning. (Make sure you have lots of ice on hand).

You can of course use any glass to serve your drinks in, but there are style bonus points for using your Trader Sam's souvenir glasses.

 Many Trader Sam's drinks call for "Gorilla Grog." Here is the recipe for how to make Gorilla Grog at home.
Gorilla Grog - Ingredients:
  • 1 oz passion fruit juice
  • 1 oz orange juice (no pulp)
  • 1 oz guava juice
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 0.5 oz lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 0.5 oz orgeat syrup
  • 0.5 oz falernum syrup
We tend to mix up a jug and keep it at the back of the fridge for use as needed in tiki drink season, or when we are making for a group. Just keep the proportions the same (ie. 1 cup of each passion, orange, guava, pineapple juice and half cup of each lemon juice, orgeat and falernum) ​.  
Insider tip: Gorilla Grog is non-alcoholic and makes a great fancy  kids drink  - we usually do 2/3 juice to 1/3 sprite or club soda and sometimes add a splash of grenadine for colour.
I can usually find passion fruit and guava juices at my local supermarket, either in the juice aisle or sometimes in the international foods aisle.   I have also had luck finding guava juice at Costco.  If you are having trouble here are some links to find them on Amazon.

The syrups are definitely harder to find.   I can get grenadine at the supermarket but the other two are harder to find and I've only ever had luck finding at specialty liquor stores or online. If you are ambitious you could also try making your own homemade orgeat and falernum as recipes can easily be found online.

These are  links to  YouTube videos for detailed instructions on how to make two of the most popular Trader Sam's Drinks - "Shipwreck on the Rocks" and "Krakatoa Punch" (volcanic eruption not included). 
For a little extra fun you can find the LED glow cubes on Amazon. These are a fun addition to almost any drink and as a bonus are re-useable.

I've never thought the souvenir cups to be overly "worth it" but this post made me completely reconsider all of that!
I so appreciate you sharing these recipes!

Honestly, these and mugs are probably some of the souvenirs that we use the most.

Thanks! They really are. Give a recipe a try. And sadly these cups are only a small part of a larger collection. It's a problem.

Those all sound delicious. Honestly, anything involving POG juice is okay with me. We have been wanting to go to Trader Sam's for forever, but didn't think we could take my teenage son in there. Do they allow underage kids in there and serve kid friendly versions of the drinks? I'm guessing not. So..6 more years to go!

Hi Lee
Actually Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland allows children before 8pm. I know you can also visit Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace at Disney World during the day with children as well but I would definitely check exact times with the website as these can always change.Obviously underage children can't order alcohol bt they do have several fun non-alcoholic drinks and we also enjoy the food at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at Disneyland. -- You can check out our review of it on our blog.
