So you may or may not know that I had never been to La Cava de Tequila in the Mexico pavilion at Epcot. There is something terribly wrong with that. My drink of choice has always been the wonderful delicious amazing margarita. So it is only fitting that I needed to cross this off my Disney bucket list as soon as possible. Something I was determined to do on our early December 2013 trip.
Not only did I manage to get there and try one of their delicious specialty margaritas, I got to try five different specialty margaritas! Slow down, before you stage an intervention, I did not drink all five and it wasn't in one setting. My family and I were able to make it to La Cava twice during our trip (and got a seat both times). Each adult in my party made sure to order a different flavor both times so we could then in turn taste the different flavors.

So are you wondering if a $14 margarita is any better than a margarita from Applebees for $5? The answer is an enormous .... HELL YES!!!!!
Ok yes I agree, these margaritas are ridiculously overpriced so it certainly deters you from heavy alcohol consumption. But I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed every single one that we tried, so at least I wasn't disappointed after spending that type of money.
Here are the drinks that we tried and my ranking from 1 to 5 in terms of my favorites (1 being my favorite, 5 being my least favorite).

The Blood Orange was hands down my favorite and just delicious. I think I chose it and the Wild Passion Fruit due to the addition of the wildberry/mango foam. The salt used on each drink really makes a difference as well. At first glance at the menu I wasn't so sure about the salt, but it had a hot spice to it that really gave a nice kick to the flavors (I am horrible at describing tastes so forgive me). Cucumber was middle of the road for me, it definitely was still amazing and I think the oddness of the flavor choice makes it a must try. Pineapple and Avocado were last for me. Pineapple only because although delicious, I feel I have had drinks of similar taste before therefore it wasn't my first choice. Lastly Avocado due mainly to the fact that it was frozen and not on the rocks. I need my margaritas on the rocks!
La Cave de Tequila is a must do for all WDW fans, especially those who like to drink tequila. Not only does it offer great drinks, the atmosphere is really fun. It is a really small area which makes it all the more cozy and quaint. I will be visiting this place again my friend to get my drink on! You can be sure of that!
