This discovery comes courtesy of Disney Food Blog. The latest addition to the Dole whip family is officially called the Lapu Hula and was spotted at Pineapple Lanai at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Spa. Words don’t fully capture the splendor of this fruity drink.
To start, it’s served in an entire pineapple with the top cut off. Next, the shell gets filled with creamy, chilled Dole whip. It’s served at the Polynesian Village Resort and Spa, so it wouldn’t be perfectly tiki without a shot of coconut rum on the side.
Here’s a closer look at the Lapa Hula:
