We tasted City Works Eatery & Pour House’s new Pumpkin Spice Lemonade and Pumpkin Spice Dirty Soda at Disney Springs. Here’s our full verdict before they launch on Aug. 11.

For full transparency, our food reporter(s) were invited out to City Works Eatery & Pour House to try the new beverages.

Fall has arrived early at Disney Springs. Starting Aug. 11, City Works Eatery & Pour House is rolling out two limited-time, pumpkin spice-flavored beverages as part of the broader Halloween at Disney Springs 2026 foodie guide, which unveiled dozens of new spooky and seasonal food and drink items across the shopping and dining district. We got a sneak preview of the two new sippers around the same time that guide dropped, and we’re breaking down exactly what to expect before they hit the menu. Both drinks will be available Aug. 11 through Nov. 30, giving guests a solid three-and-a-half-month window to try them before pumpkin spice season wraps up at Disney Springs.

What’s In the New City Works Drinks

City Works is known for its massive beer selection and elevated pub fare, but its fall lineup this year leans into two non-beer options built around a common thread: pumpkin spice syrup. Here’s how each one is built, according to Disney’s official rundown:

• Pumpkin Spice Lemonade: House-made lemonade blended with pumpkin spice syrup.
• Pumpkin Spice Dirty Soda: Coca-Cola, pumpkin spice syrup and a sweet cream float, similar to what you’d find at a dedicated dirty soda shop.

City Works Pumpkin Spice Lemonade

The Pumpkin Spice Lemonade is exactly what it sounds like on paper, and it delivers close to what we expected: a slightly tart, refreshing base of house-made lemonade with pumpkin spice syrup stirred through it. The lemonade base keeps this one from tipping into dessert territory, and it’s genuinely refreshing on a hot Florida afternoon, which is a neat trick for a drink built around a flavor most people associate with sweater weather.

That said, the pumpkin spice flavor is present and noticeable in every sip. This isn’t a drink where the spice syrup is a background note. It’s front and center alongside the lemonade. If you’re not a pumpkin spice person, this probably isn’t the drink that changes your mind. However, if you’re already on board with the flavor, this is a solid, well-balanced fall option.

One last thing about this City Works pumpkin spice beverage…make sure to stir it often to keep the pumpkin spice syrup and lemonade mixed together. You will thank us later!

City Works Pumpkin Spice Dirty Soda

The Pumpkin Spice Dirty Soda uses the same pumpkin spice syrup, pairing it with Coca-Cola and a sweet cream. Like the lemonade, the pumpkin spice flavor comes through clearly and isn’t shy about it. What sets this one apart is the sweet cream, which mellows out the cola and spice and gives the drink a rounder, dessert-adjacent finish.

It’s a distinct flavor combination that works well together, and the cream does a nice job of softening what could otherwise be an overly assertive spice profile. Between the two new drinks, this one leans further into fall/dessert flavor territory, while the lemonade stays a bit more in refreshing-drink lane.

Why Dirty Sodas Are Having a Moment

The Pumpkin Spice Dirty Soda isn’t happening in a vacuum. This is City Works tapping into a drink trend that’s been building steam for the past few years. “Dirty sodas” (fountain soda mixed with flavored syrups, fruit purees, and a splash of cream or coconut cream) started as a Utah phenomenon, popularized by drive-thru soda shops, before spreading nationally and going viral on social media.

Part of the appeal is customization: dirty sodas function like a build-your-own dessert drink, where a familiar base like Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper gets dressed up with a rotating cast of syrups and creams. That makes them easy for restaurants to reinvent seasonally, swap in pumpkin spice for fall, peppermint for the holidays, coconut and lime for summer, without touching the base ingredients. They’re also entirely non-alcoholic, which fits neatly into the broader boom in mocktails and alcohol-free options at restaurants and bars, giving designated drivers, kids, and anyone skipping alcohol something more interesting than a plain fountain drink. City Works’ version leans into the same formula, and the pumpkin-spice take is a timely, on-trend addition for fall.

City Works Pumpkin Spice Beverages for a Limited Time

Both of City Works’ new fall drinks are solid additions to the Disney Springs seasonal lineup, but they come with the same caveat: you need to be a fan of pumpkin spice to fully enjoy either one. The Pumpkin Spice Lemonade is the more refreshing, easy-drinking of the two, while the Pumpkin Spice Dirty Soda leans sweeter and more dessert-like thanks to the sweet cream. If pumpkin spice is your thing, both are worth seeking out during your next Disney Springs visit.
