BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 In honor of this special occasion, an article on the Disney Food Blog on some of the margaritas served around Walt Disney World... http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2015/02/21/celebrate-national-margarita-day-tomorrow-walt-disney-world-style/ Excerpts... Avocado Margarita at La Cava del TequilaThe Aguacate — Avocado Margarita — from La Cava del Tequila has been one of my very favorites from the first time I sampled it! It’s a wonderful, made-to-order concoction that blends Avocado, Lime Juice, White Tequila, and Melon Liqueur for a flavor that’s like no other! Blood Orange Margarita at Flying Fish CafeBlood Orange is one of my favorite flavors. After all, with the complex, less sweet, almost bitter taste it imparts, it’s a little more interesting than plain old orange…orange. And it’s especially delicious when paired with other flavors in a margarita. We’ve enjoyed versions of this festive cocktail at San Angel Inn Ristorante, but my favorite one can be found at Flying Fish Cafe. Italian Margarita at Via NapoliOne thing that you can count on at Disney when it comes to food and drink is a fun, fusion approach to some of your favorites. Case in point: the Italian Margarita in Epcot’s Italy Pavilion! I first discovered this delicious drink at Via Napoli, the Italy Pavilion’s fantastic spot for pizza. Malawi Mango Margarita at SanaaThe exotic cuisine of Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Sanaa demands an equally exotic drink in hand. Sanaa is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Disney World. Located in Kidani Village, it offers some amazing eats that fuse together the complex flavors of India and Africa. (Check out a review of our most recent meal at Sanaa here.) The first time I spied the frozen Malawi Mango Margarita on the menu here, I knew I had to check it out! Its smooth, super sweetness makes it a great combination with some of the spicy menu options. Orange Mango Fire Margarita at La Hacienda de San AngelFor something a little out of the ordinary, I love to mix a little fire with my ice! And the best way to do that margarita-wise is with a Orange Mango Fire Margarita from La Hacienda de San Angel. Located waterside in Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion, grab one of these as you watch Illuminations come alive over World Showcase Lagoon. An unexpected combination of Silver Tequila, Ginger Liqueur, Orange Juice, Mango Puree, and Lime Juice, it’s a perfect combo of sweet and sour. The spicy kick comes from hint of Tabasco Sauce and a Tajin Chili Powder rim. Margarita Flights!What do you do when you know you’d like a margarita, but you just can’t decide which one to choose from all of your options? I know. Life is full of hard decisions. Personally, that’s when I go for a fun Margarita Flight! This uber colorful version is available at a few different spots around property. It might disappear from menus from time to time, but we’ve seen it at Maya Grill and Rix Lounge at Disney’s Coronado Springs, as well as at La Hacienda de San Angel in Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion. (Sometimes, this version also appears on La Cava del Tequila’s menu.) Brown Derby Citizens Take Flight Margarita Flight — Bucky Greenhorn’s Derby Margarita, Melvin Macheezmo Mango Margarita, and “Ready” Freddy Fiddlesticks Pomegranate MargaritaTwisted Margarita at Paradiso 37One of our favorite spots to stop for some delicious bites and drinks in the middle of the day is Paradiso 37 in Downtown Disney. This restaurant specializes in tastes of the Americas — like, all of them! So you get an interesting menu that features specialties from North, Central, and South America. And the gorgeous, backlit tequila bar lets you know what you can expect from the drink menu! My favorite version of this Mexican-inspired drink is the Twisted Margarita. The icy drink features a twisty mix of Frozen Margarita and Frozen Sangria. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 And from the Disney Parks Blog... Happy National Margarita Day!posted on February 21st, 2015 by Rachel Brent, Food & Beverage Marketing Communications Coordinator With National Margarita Day just around the corner on February 22, I wanted to share some of my favorite unique margaritas across Walt Disney World Resort. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, head over to The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge, where you can enjoy the ‘Citizens Take Flight’ tasting of three margaritas on the charming patio. These sips have character! Sample Bucky Greenhorn’s Derby Margarita, Melivan Macheezmo’s Mango Margarita, and Ready Freddy Fiddlesticks Pomegranate Margarita. While Cava del Tequila will be a popular spot on National Margarita Day, I enjoy gazing out at World Showcase lagoon at La Hacienda de San Angel while sipping on an Orange Mango Fire Margarita, premium silver agave tequila, ginger liqueur, orange juice, mango puree, fresh lime juice and a hint of Tabasco sauce, served on the rocks with a Tajin chili powder rim. Another delightful take on the margarita is the Italian Margarita found at Gelati in the Italy Pavilion, crafted with frozen limoncello and grappa. Parks aren’t the only places you can find one of these satisfyingly sour sips, pick up a drink at BoardWalk Joe’s Marvelous Margaritas for a leisurely stroll around the BoardWalk on a hot day. Relax after a day in the parks at Rix Lounge at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Their Margarita Flight lets guests sample their five handcrafted margaritas: mango blueberry basil, classic, hibiscus, pineapple and jalapeno. At Whispering Canyon Cafe, you can sip on a Moonshine Margarita made with Troy & Sons Platinum Moonshine, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, fresh lime juice and agave nectar topped with soda water. Across property, try the Grand Margarita, with Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice and sweet-and sour, available at most pool bars. Another popular sip is the Habañero Lime Margarita, on the menu at several lounges and restaurants. In the “spirit” of National Margarita Day: Coming this spring, look for a new place to enjoy an adult beverage while watching the sunset at Downtown Disney Marketplace. How will you celebrate National Margarita Day? http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/02/happy-national-margarita-day/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
