Margaritas, Ciders, other Alcoholic Drinks at Epcot

[Dizduke]

I have a few questions:

1) Is there a place to get good Margaritas in Epcot where you don't have to sit down for lunch/dinner?

2) What other places in Epcot can you get hard ciders?

3) IYO what is/are the best alcoholic drink(s) at Epcot that is not super sweet and fresh?

1. La Cava del Tequila, inside the Mexico pavilion

2. Rose & Crown Pub has Strongbow, Germany had a cider at their wine cellar. If you are there during a festival (flower & garden or food & wine), one or more of the kiosks may offer cider.

3. La Cava del Tequila. Some of the margarita options are very sweet (beware the pineapple,the horchata and the passion fruit if you don't want sweet), but some are not.
Check out the cocktails in Tutto Gusto (Italy). Some Italian mixed drinks are not sweet. They use bitter liqueurs like Campari sometimes.

1. La Cava de Tequila (they have some small plate options, but primarily a tequila bar)
2. Rose & Crown

I happen to know those first two answers, but have no particular opinion on no. 3, so I'll let others give you their preferences there.

There is a tequila bar inside Mexico. You can also get ciders and margaritas at the Rose and Crown in England.

Looks like three of us all answered at the same time. Sorry for the repetition, but at least you got confirmation of the same answers!

Just wanted to add that there was a super yummy margarita offered in Morrocco. Can't remember the exact name of it, but it was refreshing and not overly sweet.

I was told on another forum and read a blog entry (with pictures ) that La Cava is pouring premixed margaritas out of plastic jugs rather than blending the drinks as ordered. I have stood at the bar (several times) in the past and saw my margarita in the blender. I will be very disappointed if things have changed.

Can a recent visitor share their experience?

Thanks!

They do premix some of the more popular ones on busy days. Visit on weekdays NOT during Epcot festivals for the best shot at catching them when they are not as busy and they don't need to take steps to keep the crowd moving.

I am by no means a beer drinker, but my favorite drink in Epcot is the grapefruit beer Schofferhoffer. Very refreshing, light, and doesn't really taste like beer!

Last time we were there I got hard cider at a stand in England (didnt have to go into the restaurant or pub).

And I love the Grey Goose slushy in France. Not too sweet and so refreshing!

It's only 2% ABV so it's not really a beer, more like a grapefruit spritzer - for a german brewer to label this a beer is pretty sad.

1) You can also go to the stand in Mexico for frozen margaritas or on the rocks which is to the right of the pyramid if you're facing it. I also highly recommend the frozen Italian margarita made w/Limoncello in Itlay from the stand to the left of their pavillion or you can get drinks to go from their bar, Tutto Gusto.

2)The UK has a stand w/hard apple or pear cider or you can go to Rose & Crown pub for a drink to go. Also, I believe I remember seeing hard cider sold in Sunshine Seasons in their drink cooler w/the rest of the beer they have available. (When you pay at the cashier, they open it for you & poor it in a plastic cup so you don't have to stay there w/it).

3) I've read about the Sake mixed drinks you can get in Japan from their stand that sells beer on that Party Through the Parks site. They did look good & they gave them good reviews. Besides what I already mentioned, they have plenty of different types of beer from the WS countries or the full service bars anywhere on property will make you drinks to go of whatever you ask for as long as they have the ingredients.
