Florida Sunshine In A Cup At Dockside Margaritas

Welcome back for more Friday cocktails! Man - we sure need it this week don't we? How many of you spent time this week wishing you could just run away to live in Walt Disney World? I know I did, and if I lived in Walt Disney World I know I'd spend a fair amount of time sipping cocktails in the sun. This week we're checking out some liquid Florida sunshine from Dockside Margaritas in the Marketplace at Disney Springs.


Dockside Margaritas Front Window


I've been a Dockside Margaritas fan for a long time, but the refurbishment that happened with the launch of Disney Springs made this spot even more inviting with modern takes on old favorite drinks, a larger bar, and a refreshed seating area with comfort, shade, and style. Dockside Margaritas has gone from a grab and go refreshment to the perfect place to sit and stay awhile.


Dockside Seating Is Now Shady and Comfortable


The menu has expanded at Dockside Margaritas too, now with so much more than Margaritas. As a non-tequila drinker I was more than able to order from the ample bar menu which includes cocktails, wine, beer, hard cider, and non-alcoholic choices.

I went for a duo of drinks to capture the Florida spirit. The non-alcoholic version is called the Orange Frost, and is a frosty, delicious frozen orange puree. The drink is bright and fun, a perfect cool down for any hot Florida day. By the way - the Orange Frost is available for one Snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan.


The Expanded Menu Offers Something for Everyone


If you're feeling like you want something a little stronger though, Dockside Margaritas makes one with a little something extra. Order up the Florida Citrus Freeze for a fun frozen cocktail that blends Florida Can 'Orlando Orange' Vodka, and Peach Schnapps with a tasty orange puree.

I loved both of these drinks, the peach schnapps in the Florida Citrus Freeze mellows out the bright orangey flavor to create a more rounded beverage. You can absolutely taste the alcohol in this one though, which makes it a great drink for sipping while relaxing in a chair on the dock.
