Lavender Pot de Crème with Blueberry Cake , Pink Peppercorn , and Lime Whipped Cream from Trowel & Trellis + Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade from Pineapple Promenade It ' s not really The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival until you ' ve had a Frozen Dessert Violet Lemonade , right ? This first pairing features the most iconic festival classic beverage alongside a plant-based newcomer : the Lavender Pot de Crème . These two are perfectly Instagrammable side by side with their soft purple hue and violet garnish , but the floral flavors mixed with zesty lemon and lime , sweet blueberry , and snappy pink peppercorn just work . Save this one for a little later in your festival food crawl unless you have a serious sweet tooth because this is definitely a dessert pairing .
Off the “ Beet ” en Path : Profiteroles with Red Beet Mousse , Golden Beet Pastry Cream , Whipped Goat Cheese Cream , and Candied Walnuts from EPCOT Farmers Feast + Italian Red Sangria with Cabernet Sauvignon from Primavera Kitchen For a sophisticated snack , may I suggest these delicate , sweet , and savory profiterals stuffed with unique beet mousse and pastry cream , goat cheese , and walnuts ? Wash it down with a drink that signifies spring is here : red sangria that ' s not too sweet to sip on while you leisurly enjoy one of the most unique dishes at the festival . The colors are a lovely complement to each other , and the flavors can ' t be " beet ."
