There are 11 countries in EPCOT, and along with that there are 11 drinks. This is why it's commonly referred to as 'Drinking Around the World' as you travel from country to country.
Each country is specifically designed to appropriately match the actual country, and provide guests with an authentic experience.
Everything is planned out methodically including the smallest details, such as the architecture of each country, how the food and drinks are served, the music, and even what type of cups the drinks are served in.

Best Way to Drink Around the World at EPCOT
Head to Canada First.
Although most visitors will gravitate towards Mexico first, there's a better way.
Head to Canada first, and make your way around counter-clockwise after (towards the United Kingdom).
If you go to Mexico, you'll end up facing the sun all day long and it can get tiring after navigating through a few countries.

When is the Park Open?
Drinking around the world occurs in the World Showcase portion of the park, and they normally open around 11 am - 9 pm.
If you do the math, that's 10 hours and 11 drinks. Which means, you'll have less than an hour to down each drink if you plan to complete the drinking around the world challenge!
