Hosted by CORKCICLE, the Shimmering Sips booth is the spot for anyone who wants a sweet treat and/or mimosas.
The booth is located towards the Canada pavilion in the Showcase Plaza (near Port of Entry). It’s a busy area and sometimes has a long line, so keep that in mind.
If you like mimosas and sweeter things, then this is the booth for you.
This year, there is a mimosa flight, a sour mimosa, and a plant-based dessert. While this is a favorite booth for many, it’s not for us.
The Tropical Mimosa is the one thing we’d recommend, but definitely not something we’d go back for again and again.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Shimmering Sips booth, including reviews, photos, and our must-trys.

Guava Mousse
A light guava mousse on a sugar cookie with coconut-lime whipped cream.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Pretty presentation and light guava taste, but probably wouldn’t order again.
Heather: Good mousse …. Just too sweet.
Felicia: The guava flavor is funky and the texture is atrocious. Just mush. Would not recommend.
Allyson: The guava flavor really comes through. It’s light and nice on a hot day. I also love the sugar cookie underneath.
Tropical Mimosa
Sparkling wine mixed with a tropical blend of passion fruit, orange, and guava juices.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Pretty basic mimosa but with a slight tropical twist.
Heather: Tastes the most like a “traditional” mimosa. I drank some.
Felicia: If you like POG juice from ‘Ohana, this is the mimosa for you. Delicious and refreshing.
Allyson: This is nice and refreshing with good tropical flavor.
Key Lime Mimosa
A tart Key lime sparkling wine mixed with white cranberry juice.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Sweet Tart in a cup. Too sweet.
Heather: My favorite of all of the mimosas. But, it is super sweet. So skip if you don’t like sweet.
Felicia: I didn’t care for this last year because it was syrupy, but it’s not as thick this year. Still not something I would recommend but it’s not bad.
Allyson: Not my favorite out of all the mimosas. Has too much of a wine taste for me.
Blood Orange Mimosa
Sparkling wine mixed with a sweet blood orange juice.
Note: this drink is also available in a flight.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Thick and not as flavorful as expected.
Heather: Maybe a no. It isn’t so great but not terrible. It’s a strong “meh”.
Felicia: This has a lot of juice and taste like plain orange juice and grapefruit juice mixed together to me. A little bitter. Not my favorite but would be good for people that like mimosas.
Allyson: Did not like this one as much this year. The flavor was just eh. It also felt thick.
Berry Sour Ale Mimosa
Boulevard Brewing Co. Berry Noir Sour Ale mixed with sparkling wine.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Slight berry flavor but kinda bland.
Heather: This made me sad. I didn’t want to drink it. I didn’t get “sour”, I only tasted champagne.
Felicia: Surprising good. The berry sour ale is a nice contrast to the sparkling wine. Good “mimosa” option for someone who prefers more tartness than sweetness.
Allyson: Not too sweet or sour, but just ok. Nothing I’d come back for.
