Tasty Treat: Cava Avocado Margarita
Welcome back to Tasty Treat Tuesday! Did you know that TODAY is National Tequila Day? So, in honor of the occasion, I am featuring one of my favorite tequila Tasty Treats at Walt Disney World. Being a native Texan, I love all kinds of tequila! Frozen, on the rocks, or in its purest form, this spirit derived from the agave plant packs a punch on its own and is an excellent addition to any cocktail. And just like wine or beer, there are noticeable differences between tequilas that can be savored and enjoyed by novices and connoisseurs.
Today, we are going to feature a tequila drink that all guests will love – the Cava Avocado Margarita. AND for those looking for something a bit more refined, we’ve got options for you, too!
What is it?
Tequila Avión Blanco, Melon Liqueur, fresh Avocado, Agave Nectar and fresh Lime Juice served Frozen with Hibiscus Salt Rim.
Why try it?
This margarita is unique and stands out for visual appeal and taste. It’s not the ordinary “run-of-the-mill” frozen margarita you’ll get from the local Mexican food joint in your town. The Tequila Avión Blanco is a clear tequila which tastes sweet and crisp with hits of grapefruit and pineapple. Blended with buttery fresh avocado and ice, this drink becomes creamy and beautifully bright green in color. The melon liqueur and agave nectar adds a fruity punch to enhance the brightness of the tequila’s flavor profile and intensify the sweetness of the avocado. Finally, fresh lime juice adds a tartness that balances the tequila and sweet liquors. The hibiscus salt rim is not just pretty with its magenta color, but also floral. The entire combination pops with flavor and takes margaritas from ordinary to extraordinary!
Where can I find it?
The Cava Avocado Margarita can be found at Epcot’s World Showcase at La Cava de Tequila in the Mexico Pavilion. Can I just stop for a moment that I love all things about this pavilion? The moment you step inside, you feel instantly transported into the romantic spirit of the Mexican culture. Themed to look like the inside of a small Mexican town, this pavilion is always in “perpetual twilight” with a glowing pyramid in the far recesses that reflects against the sparkling river with boats taking guests on a Grand Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros. Small little “street shops” sell Mexican trinkets, brightly colored art and gorgeous pottery. Upon entering the pavilion, guests will often overlook the tucked away entrance to La Cava del Tequila. But don’t mistake its understated entry as the interior offers an intimate space designed to resemble a hacienda cellar with rich leather, carved woods, and comfortable seating. It is the perfect spot to rest your feet and enjoy a leisurely drink after a long trek around the World Showcase.
In addition to the Cava Avocado Margarita, La Cava del Tequila offers over 200 tequilas, top-shelf cocktails, Mexican beer, wine and specialty drinks. Tequila options include intense blancos, complex reposados, and velvety smooth añejos. Looking to explore them all and figure out what you like best? Try a tequila flight and learn something about the history of tequila making from the knowledgeable cast members. Recently listed as one of the best Tequila Bars in the U.S. by Drink Here Now, I certainly concur!
