Tucked inside the pyramid at EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion, La Cava del Tequila has gone from hidden gem to must-visit hotspot for Disney foodies and cocktail lovers. With its extensive tequila and mezcal selection, expertly crafted margaritas, and cozy, cave-like atmosphere, it’s no surprise the bar often draws long lines before it even opens at 11 a.m., sometimes stretching beyond the entrance and even outpacing the wait for Gran Fiesta Tour next door.
While the drinks alone keep guests returning, La Cava has also become a favorite among the occasional celebrity visitor. Stars like Neil Patrick Harris, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Maluma,Lily Aldridge and Mark Wahlberg been known to stop by, sometimes to sip, sometimes to collaborate, and always to delight fans lucky enough to catch the moment.
Over the years, La Cava has teamed up with several of these famous faces to create exclusive cocktails that reflect their unique tastes. Here are five unforgettable times when La Cava del Tequila mixed celebrity flair with cocktail magic.
1. Black Magic Margarita – Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Patrick Harris, a longtime Disney fan, made magic happen with his bold cocktail creation: the Black Magic Margarita. With mezcal, blackberry purée, fresh lime, cassis blackberry liqueur, and a chili-lime rim, the drink is as dramatic and show-stopping as the actor himself.
Its balance of smoky, tart, and spicy flavors makes it a standout among La Cava’s lineup. Much like Harris’s theatrical flair, this drink delivers a memorable performance with every sip and has remained a top choice for those looking for something daring and different.
2. Malumita – Maluma
When global pop sensation Maluma launched his brand, Contraluz Cristalino Mezcal, he didn’t just bring the bottle; he got the party. His signature La Cava cocktail, the Malumita, captures his vibrant energy with a bold yet smooth mix that puts his Contraluz Reposado Cristalino Mezcal front and center.
The Malumita combines pineapple juice, Ancho Reyes chile poblano liqueur, ginger-peach cordial, and Italicus, all served with a striking tortilla ash rim. Like its creator, the drink is light, fruity, a little spicy, and effortlessly cool, a stylish, celeb-approved sip that quickly became a guest favorite.
3. Dos Hombres Avocado Margarita – Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul
The iconic Avocado Margarita has long been one of La Cava del Tequila’s most beloved drinks, praised for its creamy texture, vibrant flavor, and refreshing twist. But in a special collaboration with Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, the fan-favorite got a smoky, bold upgrade.
By incorporating the duo’s Dos Hombres Mezcal, La Cava added a subtle richness and depth to the classic recipe, creating the Dos Hombres Avocado Margarita. This version feels familiar and excitingly new. The smokiness of the mezcal pairs beautifully with the avocado’s creamy base, offering a perfectly balanced cocktail that’s become a must-try for both margarita lovers and mezcal enthusiasts.
And in September 2024, fans were treated to an unforgettable surprise when Cranston and Paul made an in-person appearance at La Cava, handing out free avocado margaritas to stunned guests.
The duo’s unexpected visit turned into a Disney Parks moment, cementing this drink’s place in La Cava history and making the Dos Hombres Avocado Margarita even more legendary.
4. The Lily – Lily Aldridge
Lily Aldridge has been a beloved creative collaborator with La Cava del Tequila for years, and her namesake cocktail, The Lily, reflects her signature sense of style, elegant, floral, and refreshingly refined.
This guest-favorite drink combines Casa Dragones Blanco, cranberry juice, lime juice, violet essence, and rose petal liqueur, all beautifully finished with a pink rose petal salt rim. Delicate and perfectly balanced, it’s a standout on the menu and a go-to for those seeking something a bit more graceful and unique.
Its popularity has only grown over time, and in December 2024, La Cava quietly introduced a secret menu variation known as The Secret Lily. This version is served in a taller glass, offering a touch of visual drama and a nod to the original’s lasting appeal available only to those in the know.
Whether you enjoy the classic or score the elusive secret version, The Lily remains one of the most elegant sips in EPCOT.
5. Flecha Azul Tequila – Mark Wahlberg’s Surprise Delivery
When Mark Wahlberg teamed up with La Cava del Tequila to showcase his brand, Flecha Azul Tequila, he didn’t just send a bottle; he turned it into a full-on show.
In a viral video that delighted fans, bartender Pepe is seen reaching the end of a bottle of Flecha Azul. With no more tequila left to pour, he picks up the phone and calls Mark Wahlberg himself. On the other end? Wahlberg, casually hanging out in Las Vegas, who immediately grabs a bottle and says he’s on it.
Cut to a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek sequence where Wahlberg “delivers” the tequila to Disney World, making it to the bar just in time to replenish Pepe’s stock. Pepe calls to thank him, and Wahlberg playfully declares that Pepe is more famous than he is, to which Pepe fires back, “I do better Margaritas than you.”
The playful exchange was an instant hit and a perfect blend of celebrity fun and La Cava charm. Since then, Flecha Azul Tequila has earned a spot behind the bar, featured in exclusive cocktails and as a customizable option for the famous Avocado Margarita, offering a smoother alternative to the mezcal version.
Moments like this remind guests why La Cava isn’t just about great drinks, it’s about great stories, too.
