Hook, Snow and Pan cast it in one night. Casting the curse really isn't what anyone is talking about.

You can't cast a curse just by hearing the name. Regina didn't just hear about the sleeping curse and make it the next day. She studied Maleficent's over several years until she was able to place it on an apple.

Regina set up Snow's curse because she knew the ingredients and the different aspects. Pan stole the curse scroll and ingredients from Regina. Dark One knowledge and random Merlin stew helped that.

Does Drizella have the scroll? Does she know the ingredients? No and no. Frankly, it's a bit odd to think somone can just poof up a spell out of nowhere. Regina's sleeping curse took years. Zelena took years. Ingrid took years.

Chances are it hasn't even been that long, but the idea that taking more than one day bordering nonsensical. Plus, she also had to find a way to "hero-proof" the Dark Curse as well.
