If you’ve ever gone to Disneyland Resort, you might have stumbled upon the Lamplight Lounge.
This eatery is not just a spot for dining; it’s an experience, weaving the charm of Pixar films into its very essence with a menu to match.
One of the stars of their menu is the Disney Scream Canister drink, a concoction that practically echoes the scream energy of kids around the park!
Since the sad reality is most of us can’t be at the parks every day, I decided to share my recipe version of the famous Scream Canister drink, so you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
Plus, I’ll be sharing the mocktail recipe with you, too!
The Origin of the Disney Scream Canister Drink
The Disney Scream Canister drink is inspired by the energy-packed scream canisters from Monsters, Inc.
This cocktail, served at the Lamplight Lounge at Disneyland, captures the essence of the unrefined screams of joy and excitement that only Disney can evoke.
Since its debut, the drink has been one of the most popular on the Lamplight Lounge menu with adults for its strong flavors and nostalgic nod to one of our favorite Pixar films.
It’s a chilled drink that’s as refreshing as it is memorable, making it a must-try for anyone visiting Disneyland Resort. But hey, if you don’t have any vacations in the books, I’ve got you covered with this copycat recipe!

They’re so much fun, and even do the scream when you open them. Don’t worry — you can turn the sound off by tapping the red button on the top of water bottle.
