When Walt Disney World unveiled the menu for its inaugural bar, the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed The Beak and Barrel, two standout items caught attention: the Plunderer’s Punch and the Kraken’s Catch. The Plunderer’s Punch, a spiced rum-based drink served in a collectible pirate skull mug, and the Kraken’s Catch, an inventive octopus dish, were featured during a media preview ahead of the bar’s opening.
Drinks Offered at The Beak and Barrel
During the event, three drinks were sampled from The Beak and Barrel’s menu.
-
Plunderer’s Punch: This signature drink is made with Kraken Black Spiced Rum, blackberry, vanilla, and a hint of citrus. Although not suited to every palate, its boozy character was commendable, and the souvenir mug added to the allure despite its hefty price tag.
-
Cursed Treasure: A non-alcoholic option, this refreshing drink combines coconut milk and cookie crumbs, topped off with vanilla foam and a pirate’s gold cookie. It was well-received for its sweet, balanced flavor.
-
Treasure Trove: This drink doubles as a dessert, featuring ube, lemon, and coconut in a light concoction served with various treats, including a delicious Vanilla Cake Plank.
Food Offerings to Pair with Drinks
Food options included:
-
Island Provisions: A shareable plate featuring plantain chips, tortillas, toasted flatbread, and four dipping sauces. Among the dips, the Garlic Chimichurri stood out as particularly delicious.
-
Kraken’s Catch: This signature dish features octopus tentacles marinated in a zestful blend with olives, bell peppers, and a piquillo pepper-almond foam. While visually striking, the flavors were praised for being more approachable than expected, making it appealing to a wider audience.
