Luxury travelers and cocktail enthusiasts alike have a new reason to celebrate at ETTE Hotel, a sophisticated destination just minutes from Walt Disney World® Resort. Known for its refined zero-proof cocktails, ETTE has recently unveiled an enticing expansion to its bar offerings by introducing a global selection of hand-picked spirits. Under the expert direction of world-renowned mixologist Jarl de Vries, these spirits are transforming the already exquisite cocktail menu into something truly extraordinary.
A Global Journey in Every Glass
When it comes to spirits, ETTE’s approach is as curated as its hospitality. Each bottle on their new list is sourced from a different part of the world, ensuring a diverse range of flavor profiles that cater to every palate. From rare mezcals to smooth Scottish gins, each spirit comes with its own unique story. Whether guests prefer their drinks neat, on the rocks, or as part of a complex cocktail, every sip offers an elevated experience.
Notable spirits on the list include Barbados’ renowned Foursquare Rum, G4 Tequila from Mexico, and Pearse Whiskey hailing from Ireland. The variety on offer spans across five spirit categories—rum, gin, tequila, whiskey, and vodka—each chosen for its impeccable quality and global appeal.
Cocktails That Tell a Story
ETTE’s cocktail menu has evolved beyond the original zero-proof creations that guests loved, now boasting several new concoctions designed to showcase these global spirits. Take, for instance, the La Vie En Rose, a vibrant mix of gin, dragon fruit syrup, lemon, lychee, and mint juice—perfect for those who enjoy a fruity, refreshing drink. Or, transport yourself to tropical bliss with the Isla Paradiso, a blend of tequila, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice that’s as close to island life as you can get without leaving the bar.
For the adventurous, the original non-alcoholic favorite, Into The Woods, remains a standout. This earthy cocktail fuses green herbs, ginger, cucumber, and lime, topped with cookie crumbles and served on a bed of live mushrooms. And now, guests can enjoy it either as a mocktail or with a spirited twist, furthering the sense of indulgence and discovery.
A New Social Hour at Salt & The Cellar
Along with the new cocktail offerings, ETTE has also introduced a Social Hour at its acclaimed restaurant, Salt & The Cellar. From Monday to Thursday, between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., guests can enjoy an exclusive selection of tapas and cocktails designed to complement the day’s unwinding. One standout dish is the AB Taco, featuring a harmonious blend of beef, tomato ponzu, kochujang, and micro cilantro—perfect for pairing with one of the hotel’s signature drinks.
A Commitment to Craftsmanship
Jarl de Vries, who has crafted cocktail programs around the world, is the mastermind behind ETTE’s bar innovations. Known for his bold use of homemade tinctures, infusions, and stunning presentations, de Vries ensures each drink isn’t just a cocktail but an experience. Whether it’s the fragrant mist that accompanies Into The Woods or the bright vibrancy of La Vie En Rose, the attention to detail is evident in every sip.
“We pride ourselves on orchestrating memorable, upscale experiences for our guests. Our hand-picked selection of spirits was chosen with care to elevate and enhance the quality of our offerings. We are thrilled to share this new chapter in our cocktail program.”
– Alex Ekbatani, President and Owner of ETTE
