Originally Posted By FerretAfros I've had a sip, and I'm still bitter that I didn't get more. For my birthday a couple years ago, I drank around the world with a group of friends, and I had a list of what to get at each of the countrie. For France, the Grand Marnier shushie was the drink of choice. However, by that point I was pretty far along (we started in Mexico), so I was splitting drinks with a friend. She and another friend went up to order for that round, and instead decided to flirt with the 'cute French guy' and ask him what to get. My brother stuck to the list and got the slushie. There was nothing bad about the glass of wine that I had, but by no means did it come anywhere near the deliciousness of the slushie, which my brother let me try. It just tasted like a Creamsicle. Every chance I get, I make sure to remind my friend about how she had to go and mess every thing up. Grr. : ) It's definitely on my to-do list for the marathon weekend in January...though probably only one, since I'm not sure how much I'll want to drink after running a marathon and a half...(that, and the Rosa Regale in Italy, which we actually did have, but it was just that good!)

Then ya just start askin' 'round 'bout where the 3 zaniest witches this side of Oz lives. Folks'll know which direction ta point ya to. Good luck findin' us.

Originally Posted By hopemax I thought the Grand Marnier ones were peach. I don't really like the taste of alcohol, so that one was too strong for me. But I like the Grey Goose one! But speaking of orange slushies, have you guys had the one in China? It's called an Orange Smoothie, but it more like a slushy. It's non-alcoholic, but it's wonderfully refreshing.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper I've never had the orange one, but the Grey Goose Lemon one is very, very good. Also, I don't know how many of you are tequila/margarita people, but you really need to try out La Cava in the Mexico pavilion. I went there with two friends last time I was there, and by the time we left we had a group of about 15 headed to Jellyrolls to continue the fun after Illuminations. Some highlights there are the Cucumber Margarita, the Blood Orange Margarita, and the tequila flight(if you like shots, they even give you a shot of salsa to finish up with!). But by far the best drink there, IMO, is the Avacado Margarita. Yes, it sounds weird, but it's light and very refreshing!

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper Yea, the outdoor ones are some of the worst margaritas I've had. Inside are seriously the best I've ever had. The variety and the amazing flavor they have really make them worth paying a little more. They're like 13 bucks at La Cava, but definitely worth it.
Originally Posted By danyoung >...they even give you a shot of salsa to finish up with!< This sounds simply horrible. Do you mean salsa, as in that tomato-y stuff that you dip your chips in? Great for chips, but as a shot? Blech!! I don't do tequila at all, and I'm kinda bummed about that, as everyone has said good things about La Cava.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<This sounds simply horrible. Do you mean salsa, as in that tomato-y stuff that you dip your chips in? Great for chips, but as a shot? Blech!!>> It's not thick or chunky or anything, but yes. It's real, honest to god salsa. And when taken after 3 shots of tequila it's an AWESOME taste, and a very interesting combination. I highly recommend it. <<I don't do tequila at all, and I'm kinda bummed about that, as everyone has said good things about La Cava.>> That's a bummer. Tequila is my favorite. But you don't even like it mixed? Because there are certain margaritas you can barely taste it.

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub They also serve L.A.Cetto Chardonay $8 L.A.Cetto Petite Sirah $8 Sol,Bohemia,or Tecate Beer XXAmber or XXLager Beer And a small Food Menu From the outside La Cava looks small but is surprisingly bigger once you step inside! Has anybody tried the jalapeno margarita?
