Review! The Watermelon Margarita Has Some Serious Competition in Disney World…

On Wednesday, even more stores and eateries reopened all around Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district, Disney Springs. Among them was the cheerful waterside sipping spot, Dockside Margaritas!

Review! The Watermelon Margarita Has Some Serious Competition in Disney World…

Dockside Margaritas

We tried the truly tasty Watermelon Margarita during our visit, but were also tempted by the Blood Orange Margarita. And that’s what brings us back today!

You won’t find the Blood Orange Margarita under the regular menu items — instead, it’s a seasonal offering. (That said, this isn’t the first we’ve seen of it, as it was the seasonal option in January, and it’s still holding strong at the moment!)

So it’s high time to give this blood orange bevvy a try, don’t you think?

Blood Orange Margarita

While “Blood Orange” gets the spotlight in the name, the blood orange flavor in the drink isn’t particularly prominent, but it’s refreshing and delicious, nonetheless.

The pleasant surprise, though, was that this pour was heavier on the tequila than other margaritas we’ve enjoyed here, and we were impressed with both the strength and taste!

That said, if you prefer a sweeter summer sip…

No matter what the seasonal offering is during your visit, they range from $16.00 – $17.00. (The Blood Orange Margarita rings up at $16.00.) You’ll also find a few frozen drinks (like the Dockside Colada and Daquiri) along with a selection of wine and beer and even a Seasonal Mocktail on the menu in addition to the margaritas. So whenever you’re ready to cool down with a cold drink while visiting the Disney Springs Marketplace… Dockside Margaritas is here for you! CHEERS!

Have you ever stopped at Dockside Margaritas? Please let us know with a comment!
