The Best Celebrity-Inspired Drinks to Try at La Cava del Tequila

If you’ve ever wandered into the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT and stumbled upon a line that rivals the one for Frozen Ever After… congrats, you’ve found La Cava del Tequila! Once a cozy little hidden gem, this spot has officially leveled up to cult favorite status. It’s dark, cool, packed with tequila, and if you’re lucky, it might even be filled with celebrities.

Seriously, La Cava has become a bit of a celeb hangout. We’re talking Neil Patrick Harris, Maluma, Mark Wahlberg, and even the Breaking Bad boys, just to name-drop a few. But these stars aren’t just sipping, they’re collaborating. And we’re here for it.

So, what happens when Hollywood meets agave? Let’s dive into five iconic drinks born from famous partnerships that you can actually order at EPCOT. (Yes, really.)

1. Black Magic Margarita

Cue the drama. Neil Patrick Harris didn’t just pop in for a drink; he conjured up a whole mood. The Black Magic Margarita is smoky, sultry, and just the right amount of spicy. Think: mezcal, blackberry purée, cassis, lime, and a chili-lime rim that bites back (in a good way).

It’s bold, it’s broody, and it’s been one of La Cava’s most talked-about drinks since it landed. Honestly, it’s giving a Broadway star with a mischievous side. We’re obsessed.

2. Malumita

Maluma didn’t just slide into La Cava; he brought the vibes. His signature cocktail, the Malumita, is smooth, spicy, and just as stylish as the pop star himself. The star of the show? His own Contraluz Cristalino Mezcal, of course.

Mix in some pineapple, ginger-peach, a little Italicus, and a tortilla ash rim (yes, really), and you’ve got a drink that basically salsas across your taste buds. It’s tropical. It’s smoky. It’s muy bueno.

3. Dos Hombres Avocado Margarita

We love a good remix—especially when it involves one of EPCOT’s most beloved drinks: the iconic Avocado Margarita. Creamy, refreshing, and just weird enough to work, it’s been a La Cava fan-favorite for years. But when Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul joined forces with the bar to add their Dos Hombres Mezcal to the mix? That’s when things went from great to legendary.

Their twist brings a smoky edge to the famously smooth cocktail, adding enough boldness to keep it interesting without overpowering that creamy avocado base. It’s the kind of drink that makes you stop mid-sip and go, “Wait… this is dangerously good.”

And if you were lucky enough to be at La Cava in September 2024 when Cranston and Paul showed up to pour drinks and hand out avocado margaritas? That’s peak Disney magic. We’ve had FOMO ever since, and yes, we’re still talking about it.

 4. The Lily

Lily Aldridge brought more than just supermodel glam to La Cava; she brought a cocktail that keeps reinventing itself. Her namesake drink, The Lily, started as a gorgeous, floral-forward creation featuring Casa Dragones Blanco, cranberry juice, lime, violet essence, and rose petal liqueur, all rimmed with pink rose petal salt. Delicate, classy, and totally Instagram-worthy.

But here’s the twist: The Lily isn’t just standing still. Over time, it’s gotten some seriously fabulous makeovers, including a moody, black-hued version released for Día de los Muertos. With a deeper, spiced profile and dramatic presentation, that limited-time variant turned heads and showed that even the most elegant drinks can have a dark side (in the best way).

There’s also the Secret Lily, a taller, off-menu version that pops up for those in the know, because La Cava loves a good hidden gem. Whether you’re sipping the OG or catching a seasonal remix, The Lily proves that style and flavor are forever evolving.

5. Flecha Azul Tequila

Mark Wahlberg isn’t just a fan of La Cava, he’s part of the crew. His tequila brand, Flecha Azul, is a staple on the bar’s shelves, and according to the staff (especially bartender Pepe), Mark’s not just the guy behind the bottle; he’s El Jefe.

In a viral video posted by La Cava’s Instagram, Pepe finds himself running low on Flecha Azul mid-shift and does what anyone would do in a tequila emergency: he calls the boss. Cut to Mark chilling in Vegas, picking up the call like, “Say less.” Next thing you know, he’s moving to “deliver” the goods straight to EPCOT, because when supplies are low, El Jefe always comes through.

Since then, Flecha Azul has become a go-to pour at La Cava, known for its ultra-smooth flavor and mix-friendly vibe. You can even swap it into your Avocado Margarita for a cleaner, tequila-forward twist. Just don’t be surprised if the staff jokes that Mark’s watching, after all, the boss always has an eye on the bar.
