Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Alpine Ham
Warm, melty Raclette cheese is the star of this dish! Served alongside savory Alpine ham, tender baby potatoes, crisp cornichons, and a fresh baguette. The combination of flavors is a nod to the traditional Alpine cuisine. Offering a comforting, hearty meal that’s perfect for cheese lovers. The ham adds a rich, salty note that complements the creamy cheese. While the potatoes and baguette help to soak up all that cheesy goodness. We expect this dish to be a warm and satisfying option. Perfect for pairing with a crisp glass of wine or a refreshing radler.
Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese
If you prefer a vegetarian option, the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Baby Potatoes, Cornichons, and Baguette offers the same cheesy delight without the ham. The Raclette cheese is beautifully melted, ready to be poured over the baby potatoes and spread on the crusty baguette. The tangy cornichons provide a bright contrast to the rich cheese, making each bite balanced and flavorful. This dish is a must-try for anyone who enjoys the simple, yet deeply satisfying flavors of traditional Swiss cuisine.
Dark Chocolate Fondue
For a sweet ending to your Alpine adventure, the Dark Chocolate Fondue is a delightful treat. Rich, velvety chocolate is served with an array of dippable accompaniments: fresh berries, soft pound cake, and airy meringues. Each element brings a different texture and flavor, from the tartness of the berries to the sweetness of the pound cake and the crispness of the meringues. We anticipate that this fondue will be a decadent and interactive dessert, perfect for sharing with friends as you enjoy the festival atmosphere.
Key Lime Hard Radler
The Stiegl Brewery Key Lime Hard Radler is a refreshing beverage choice that’s likely to be both tart and sweet, with the distinct flavor of key lime. Hailing from the renowned Stiegl Brewery in Salzburg, Austria, this radler is a blend of beer and fruit soda, making it light and invigorating. It’s a great option to cleanse your palate between bites of the rich Raclette cheese or to enjoy on its own as you explore the festival. We expect this to be a crowd-pleaser, especially on warm days.
Frozen Rosé
Frozen Rosé is always a popular choice at Epcot’s festivals, and this version at The Alps booth is sure to be no exception. This slushy, wine-based beverage is perfect for cooling off in the Florida heat. Expect a refreshing, slightly sweet flavor with the crisp acidity typical of rosé wines. Whether you’re pairing it with the rich cheese dishes or enjoying it on its own, this Frozen Rosé is likely to be a hit for those looking for a refreshing drink with a touch of sophistication.
