REVIEW: Paradise Garden Grill at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
9 March 2026 at 11:20

Paradise Garden Grill is serving up special festival dishes again this year at the DCA Food & Wine Festival! Let’s check ’em out.

Paradise Garden Grill

The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some delicious eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat Paradise Garden Grill this year? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

Let’s take a look at the festival items at Paradise Garden Grill! This year’s menu features a variety of dishes, including Pork Chile Verde Chalupas, Aguachile Loaded Chips, and Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake.

Paradise Garden Grill Menu

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the new Pork Chile Verde Chalupas for $14.99. This is comprised of two chalupas filled with pork in salsa verde, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco served with Spanish rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco.

Pork Chile Verde Chalupas

WOW! This totally blew us away! The taco shell was unlike any other one we’ve ever had — it was soft and chewy in the best way, and paired with the perfectly seasoned pork, the flavors just explode in your mouth. The pork has a bit of a kick to it, but the lettuce, tomato, and lime are a nice way to even it out. The rice and beans were nothing super special, but were solid, so overall, this was a fantastic dish.

Incredible!

Next up, we tried the Aguachile Loaded Chips for $13.49. This dish is zesty chips topped with lime-cooked shrimp, fresh cucumbers, and red onion with aguachile salsa.

Aguachile Loaded Chips

Each chip is coated perfectly in seasoning, which we really loved, and the agua chili salsa has layers of flavor. It’s got a chili powder flavor that gives it a kick, but you also get a level of salsa verde in there as well. There are so many flavors, and this also explodes in your mouth, especially with the onion and cucumber cooling things down a bit. The shrimp adds an extra flavor without being too briny, and with that added lime you can sprinkle on top, it’s actually refreshing on a hot day!

This is delicious!

Finally, for something sweet, you can get the Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake for $8.50, which is also available at the Mercado de Antojos booth.

Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake

OVERALL

If you’re not opposed to spice, this is absolutely a location you NEED to check out! In fact, we had both of these items on our best of the fest list, so when we suggest it to be high on your list, we mean it 100%. Be sure you’ve got some water with you, and get ready for tons of flavor.

A fantastic spot!

That’s it for this spot, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!

REVIEW: Golden Dreams at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

9 March 2026 at 10:49

Are you ready for some dreamy vacation-inspired dishes and drinks? Then the Golden Dreams Festival Marketplace Booth at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival is the place to stop!

2026 Golden Dreams Booth

From Musubi Fried Rice to tiki drinks and mojitos, Golden Dreams is serving up quite the variety at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. As you’re mulling your options of everything you’d like to try at the Festival’s Marketplace Food Booths, we’re bringing you our full review of Golden Dreams to see if it should make YOUR must-stop list!

Menu

Okay, so what do we mean by “vacation-inspired dishes?” Well, Golden Dreams presents the Musubi Fried Rice brought to you by Disney Vacation Club. It’s joined by the Cherry Cobbler Pot de Crème on the menu.

the menu

The Tiki Spritz is a new cocktail this year, while the Watermelon Cucumber Mojito makes its return.

Here we go!

Eats

The Musubi Fried Rice brought to you by Disney Vacation Club is inspired specifically by Disney’s AULANI Resort in Hawai’i! For $8.75, this dish features steamed rice with egg, glazed spiced ham, umami mayo, and furikake. 

Musubi Fried Rice brought to you by Disney Vacation Club

This was one of our favorites from last year! It was salty and savory and was the perfect portion for the price. While there are a lot of snack options during the festival, we felt like this was really a whole lunch, which we really appreciated.

It was great!

For something sweet, the Cherry Cobbler Pot de Crème is $8.00. This plant-based dessert is made with vanilla custard, cherry filling, and oat crumble. 

Cherry Cobbler Pot de Crème

If you love cherry pie or cherry cobbler, you have to try this. It’s very tart, almost too tart for some, but the oats on top give it a great texture and a bit of a bite. We appreciated that it was plant-based as well, but we think it might be a little too tart for our liking.

Drinks

Time for a Tiki Spritz! For $18.00, this new drink combines dark rum, Italian aperitif, pineapple juice, guava nectar, guava syrup, and sweet and sour. It’s topped with Sprite and garnished with a pineapple wedge.

Tiki Spritz

This was SO good! It was very strong, and the rum flavor really came through, but you can also taste the pineapple and guava in it. It was super tropical and made us feel like we were sitting at Trader Sam’s or on the beach instead of in Disney California Adventure.

The Watermelon Cucumber Mojito is back for $19.00, making its way to Golden Dreams from Mercados de Antojos last year. White rum is mixed with watermelon liqueur, mojito and cucumber syrups, watermelon purée, and lime juice, then topped with Topo Chico and garnished with a watermelon gummy wedge and Tajín twist.

Watermelon Cucumber Mojito

Sweet watermelon, tart lime, refreshing cucumber, and spicy tajin… it’s basically a Cancun beach vacation in a glass! It’s super refreshing, even with the fun kick from the tajin. This is definitely a memorable cocktail that we’ve started to look forward to each year.

OVERALL

This was a solid booth! While nothing was too outrageously unique, we think it was filled with good options that a lot of people will ike. When you want an actual meal, the Masubi Fried Rice is a great choice, and if you’re always craving tart flavors, try that Cherry Cobble Pot de Crème. You can’t forget to round it off with that perfect tropical Tiki Spritz.

Full Spread at Golden Dreams

Thanks for joining us at the Golden Dreams Festival Marketplace Booth! And remember…  there’s a LOT more where that came from!

REVIEW: Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
8 March 2026 at 13:29

“Cock-a-Doodle-Doo,” you say? Nope! We’re at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. And that means we’re talking about Cluck-A-Doodle Moo!

Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo

Cluck-A-Doodle Moo is one of the Festival Marketplace Booths at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. And as we make our way around to all of the Festival’s Food Booths to bring you our full reviews, we’re visiting the one with the best name of them all, so you can know if it’s worth a stop!

Menu

In keeping with the booth’s famous name, the featured food item — Asa’DOS — combines both beef and chicken.

2026 Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo Menu

Beer drinkers can opt for The Dopest Hazy IPA by Crowns & Hops Brewing Co., and the new cocktail here is the Hot Honey White Sangria brought to you by National Geographic.  

Cluck! Moo! All the things… let’s dig in!

Eats

Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo spares us the choice between beef and chicken with the Asa’DOS for $10.00. This returning dish features grilled skirt steak, chipotle chicken, Spanish rice, and salsa verde.

Asa’DOS

The chicken here definitely has some spice to it, and we absolutely loved what it was marinated in. The Spanish rice was cooked to perfection and was very, very well seasoned! Unfortunately, the steak was extremely dry and very chewy, but it was seasoned well. Beware: the salsa verde is HOT, but put it all together in a taco, and it’s pretty darn great. We do wish the steak hadn’t been dry, though — then it would have gotten a perfect score from us!

Drinks

The full official name of the featured cocktail at Click-A-Doodle-Moo is the Hot Honey White Sangria, brought to you by National Geographic. How fun! This unique beverage costs $19.00 and combines sauvignon blanc, gin, hot honey syrup, grapefruit juice, and sweet and sour. It’s garnished with sliced jalapeños to add a little more heat.

Hot Honey White Sangria

This drink was VERY strong, so you’ve really got to like both gin and grapefruit to enjoy it. It was certainly spicy, but in a good way, and it has a great tang to it as well. We didn’t taste much of the Sauvignon Blanc at all, but we’re assuming that’s what made the alcohol taste so strong. If you’re not opposed to strong drinks, it’ll be a solid choice.

It certainly was spicy!

Crowns & Hops Brewing Co. also delivers the Dopest Hazy IPA at this booth for $18.50. 

OVERALL

If you like spice and/or are looking for some savory options at the festival, this is a good booth to visit. We’re hoping we just got the steak from the Asa’DOS on a bad day, as that was the only thing bringing the dish down, but it was pretty significant. It’s a solid booth, for sure, but you’ll just want to know your own palate very well, as it’s not going to be for everyone.

Full Spread!

Thanks for joining us at Cluck-A-Doodle Moo! And remember…  there’s a LOT more where that came from!

REVIEW: Garlic Kissed at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
8 March 2026 at 12:18

It’s time to dive into a garlic-kissed dish — and more! — at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival with a stop at the popular Garlic Kissed Festival Marketplace Booth.

Cuties Mandarin Orange & Blackberry Punch

What makes Garlic Kissed such an in-demand spot? Well, we’re pretty sure that the Sirloin Gruyère Mac & Cheese has something to do with it. But we’re sipping on some cocktails, too, as we make our way around to all of the Festival’s Food Booths to bring you our full reviews. Let’s see if Garlic Kissed lives up to its great reputation once more!

Menu

The Sirloin Gruyère Mac & Cheese returns to Garlic Kissed this year as the featured food item.

2026 Menu

Both drinks here, however, are brand new to the Festival: the Cuties Mandarin Orange & Blackberry Punch and the Bourbon Peach Tea Lemonade. 

Vampires beware 😉 … we’re about to dig in!

Eats

The Sirloin Gruyère Mac & Cheese is back for $9.50. The booth’s star ingredient is presented in the black garlic chimichurri and garlic butter crunch, and the dish is garnished with Fresno chile slices. Now, we’ve had this before, but this year it’s a little different. Last year, it had more chimichurri on it, and we found that it didn’t seem as creamy as before. Although the noodles are soft, the steak is kind of chewy, and we thought the entire dish was a bit too salty.

Sirloin Gruyère Mac & Cheese

The bread crumbs offer a nice crunch, though, and we appreciated the little bit of kick from the chile slices. However, we wished it had more of the chile slices and less of that tough, chewy steak.

Drinks

Let’s check out the new Cuties Mandarin Orange & Blackberry Punch for $8.50. This non-alcoholic option is made with house-made Cuties Mandarin orange purée, blackberry and strawberry purées, blackberry syrup, Simply Fruit Punch, and grapefruit juice. It’s garnished, naturally, with a Cuties Mandarin orange! The orange flavor is VERY strong with this, so much that it overpowers the blackberry and lemonade. That’s probably because of the orange that sits on top of the drink. However, it is refreshing, and we’d probably still drink it again.

Cuties Mandarin Orange and Blackberry Punch

The new Bourbon Peach Tea Lemonade gives you a chance to imbibe for $18.00. This cocktail features Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Ceylon Black Tea-infused bourbon, peach purée, Simply Lemonade, and Simply Fruit Punch. It’s garnished with a peach ring. That peach flavor really comes through with just a subtle flavor of bourbon in the aftertaste. We really couldn’t taste the tea. The peach ring is cute, but doesn’t really add a lot of flavor. But it gets hard because of the ice in the drink.

This is a great summer drink, though, and it’s another one we might return if we need something refreshing on a hot day.

OVERALL

We’ll admit the mac and cheese disappointed us this year, so that means we really wouldn’t recommend coming to this booth for food. The drinks are refreshing, though, and if you’re looking for something to parch your throat on a hot day, they’ll do the job.

REVIEW: Uncork California at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
8 March 2026 at 10:59

It’s all about wine and wine flights at Uncork California at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival!

It’s Mickey-shaped!

The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some delicious eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can enjoy at this year’s Uncork California booth? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

If you’re a wine drinker, you’ll want to check out this year’s menu at Uncork California. This menu sports one fan-favorite returning sweet treat and a whole lotta flights!

2026 Menu

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Mickey-shaped Macaron made with SNICKERS bar pieces for $9. This popular dessert is made with a chocolate Mickey-shaped macaron filled with caramel ganache, made with SNICKERS bar pieces. Last year, we were obsessed with this Snickers Macaron! There’s a reason this baby has returned: it’s still DELICIOUS. We love the Snickers filling and the peanuts on top.

Mickey-shaped Macaron made with SNICKERS bar pieces

This rich and delicious treat, though, does melt FAST on a hot day, so you’ll want to eat it quickly.

Drinks

In terms of drinks, this menu is all about harnessing the power of the grape in three distinct flight options (or you can just grab one individual serving of your favorite). First up, the Mimosa Flight for $ 22.50, which comes with Mango Melon Mimosa, Strawberry Punch Mimosa, and Blue Raspberry Pineapple Mimosa. The Blue Raspberry Pineapple Mimosa is made with sparkling wine, blue raspberry syrup, and pineapple juice. It’s very fruity and sweet and reminds us of a melted popsicle.

 

Mimosa Flight

The Strawberry Punch Mimosa is made with sparkling wine, strawberry purée, and Simply Fruit Punch. The strawberry was our favorite because it tasted just like fresh strawberry juice. The Mango Melon Mimosa is made with sparkling wine, mango purée, and rock melon syrup. This is the one mimosa in the flight that tastes the most like a sweet dessert wine.

Mimosa Flight

If you just want to grab your favorite mimosa flavor, they’re each priced at $21.50.

You can also get the Red Wine Flight for $23.00, which comes with Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Reserve Rosé, Nielson Pinot Noir, and Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin De Tablas Rouge.

The final flight is the White Wine Flight for $23.00, which includes Kendall Jackson Chenin Blanc, La Crema Chardonnay, and Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin De Tablas Blanc.

Uncork California

You can also get some individual wines priced separately:

  • The Tablas Creek Vineyard, Patelin de Tablas Rouge, featured in the Red Wine Flight for $20.00.
  • The Tablas Creek Vineyard, Patelin de Tablas Blanc, featured in the Red Wine Flight for $15.00.
  • And the Une Femme, The Betty Sparkling Brut for $10.00, if you prefer your bubbly straight, and without fruit juice mixers.

OVERALL

We know we’ll be coming back for the Strawberry Punch Mimosa, which is a lovely, refreshing drink that’s perfect for hot days. The Snickers macaron, too, is one of those items that will be popular again this year, and for good reason (we’re already thinking about picking up another one). Overall, that makes this a food booth you don’t want to miss.

REVIEW: Mercado de Antojos at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
7 March 2026 at 12:52

If you’re looking for sweet and savory eats at this year’s DCA Food & Wine Festival, head over to Mercado de Antojos!

Mickey in sprinkles!

The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some delicious eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat at Mercado de Antojos? Well, we’ve checked it out and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

Over at the Mercado de Antojos booth, you’ll find you’ll find a savory dish, a dessert, and several cocktails!

2026 Menu

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the new Torta Ahogada for $9.25. This dish is made with Braised pork carnitas, frijoles charros, pickled onion, and salsa. Okay, first off, it was VERY soggy, and this is one of those items that should have been made fresh, rather than in batches to just sit in the booth’s window. As far as flavor goes, the acidity of the tomato sauce is what you taste first, although the pickled onion adds a nice extra tang. The chicken is tender and well-seasoned. However, we’ve had better tortas at Disneyland, so we don’t think this one stands up to those.

Torta Ahogada

Now it’s time for a little dessert. We grabbed the returning Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake for $8.25. This treat is made with Café de Olla-infused tres leches topped with piloncillo, chantilly, cinnamon, and a Mickey-shaped cookie. We really enjoyed this cake last year, but thought they were a little heavy-handed with the chantilly cream. This year, we felt the balance was a little better.

Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake

It’s not too coffee-forward, and the cake is moist, while the frosting is light and creamy. The little Mickey cookie on top adds some nice crunchiness.

Drinks

In terms of drinks, you can get the Brown Soul Brewing Co., Quiero Maiz for $18.50. We grabbed the Paloma Flight for $19.75. You can get the flight or get individual Paloma options for $18.25. The Black Cherry Paloma is made with Blanco tequila, black cherry purée, and sweet and sour, topped with Fresca and garnished with a lime wheel. If you like cough syrup (as in that artificial cherry flavor of cough syrup), you might like this, but we’d recommend skipping it.

The Blood Orange Paloma is made with Blanco tequila, Italian aperitif, blood orange juice, and sweet and sour, topped with Fresca and garnished with a lime wheel. We found this one refreshing, with a taste that leaned more towards grapefruit juice. We also couldn’t taste the alcohol, so it was easy to drink.

Paloma Flight at Mercado de Antojos

The Cantarito-Style Paloma doesn’t have a lot of flavor, but it does have a spicy kick. You can taste a little lime, but the spiciness is really what it’s all about.

OVERALL

The only thing we’d come back to for this booth is the Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake because we really don’t think the Torta even remotely compares to other tortas we’ve had at Disneyland. As far as drinks go, we’d recommend two out of the three of the flight, but if you’re getting all three, and only like two, it’s still a win, right?

Full spread 2026

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!

REVIEW: California Craft Brews at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
7 March 2026 at 12:17

Okay, beer fans, this booth’s for you! Come along with us to this year’s California Craft Brews Festival Marketplace Booth at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival!

California Craft Brews booth

The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat and sip (with the emphasis on sip) at California Craft Brews? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

Even though California Craft Brews shines the spotlight on beer, you can also grab Chicharrón Nachos here.

2026 Menu

A few cocktails are up for grabs, too: California Punch, the Mango Guava Cocktail, and a Tropical Chamoy Michelada. Finally, the aforementioned California brews include Bottle Logic Brewing’s Explorando Mexican lager, Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker IPA,  Russian River Brewing Company’s Blind Pig IPA, and a seltzer: LA Bodega Brewing Company’s La Fresa. These can be enjoyed individually or with the California Beer Flight. 

Ready to raise a glass (or four )? Let’s go!

Eats

The new Chicharrón Nachos are available for $9. The plate is made up of Chicharrón, chorizo, cheese sauce, tomatoes, and salsa verde.

Chicharrón Nachos

You need to eat these FAST, or else they get super super soggy! The chicharróns don’t have much flavor on their own. The flavor comes from the meat the most. It has SO much seasoning, with a long-lasting kick. The meat is very ground up and easy to eat. We liked the nacho cheese in it, along with the tomato, even though they both didn’t add much flavor. We could’ve used a little more tomatoes and onions. Overall, we really enjoyed this!

Chicharrón Nachos

Drinks

The Tropical Chamoy Michelada is new this year. For $21, tomato juice, chamoy, and passion fruit purée are served with Bottle Logic Explorando, and it’s finished with a Tajín Clásico rim.

Tropical Chamoy Michelada

This drink had an immediate tomato juice taste. You don’t get too much of the lager, with a little bit of lager for the aftertaste. It’s mostly the tomato juice with a little kick from the chamoy. There’s a little bit of zest from the lime, but not that much. Overall, it’s just mostly dominated by the tomato juice, so it’s more of an acquired taste of beer.

This is more of an acquired taste!

The California Punch returns from its debut last year for $9. This non-alcoholic drink mixes mango purée, guava nectar, cucumber syrup, and lemon juice. It’s garnished with a mango chile lollipop!

California Punch

Between the blend of unique, fresh flavors (with an emphasis on the fruit) and the flavorful garnish, this drink definitely rises above your average mocktail. It’s a terrific non-alcoholic option.

Last year’s Mango Guava Cocktail is back, as well, for $18.00. Essentially, it adds vodka to the California Punch, and is garnished with a rainbow sour belt gummy for a fun (and literal) twist!

Mango Guava Cocktail

As with the California Punch, we don’t get much of the cucumber flavor, except in a bit of the aftertaste. But simply put, this is a refreshing light and fruity drink.

Finally, the California Beer Flight costs $18.50. It’s comprised of Bottle Logic Brewing’s Explorando Mexican lager, Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker IPA,  Russian River Brewing Company’s Blind Pig IPA, and a seltzer: LA Bodega Brewing Company’s La Fresa. Each can be enjoyed individually for $17.00, with the exception of Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker IPA, which costs $18.50. 

OVERALL

Overall, the booth is fine, but it’s nothing you need to go running to! The nachos are worth the try, but with so much that the festival has to offer, you don’t have to make this spot your priority.

Here’s what we got!

REVIEW: LA Style at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By: Traci C
7 March 2026 at 11:21

Ready to experience some unique California cuisine? Come along with us to LA Style at this year’s Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

Full Spread from LA Style!

The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat at LA Style? Well, we’ve checked it out and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

Over at LA Style you’ll find a variety of menu items – and most of them are NEW this year! The only item returning is the Junior LA Street Dog, while the other dining option, and both drink items are totally new.

LA Style

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed Junior LA Street Dog for $8.50This spin on a hot dog is served with jalapeño mayo, pepper and onion relish, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and crispy onions.

Junior LA Street Dog

We can see why this one is a returning favorite, especially since it’s not too heavy. The bun was nice and fresh, the hot dog itself was cooked well, and our only real complaint is that there were SO many bell peppers, which made it hard to taste the bacon. The jalapeño mayo definitely had a kick to it, so keep that in mind!

Lots of bell peppers!

Next up, we tried the new Carbonara Pizzetta for $8. This fun little flatbread-style snack is made with White sauce, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and black pepper drizzle

Carbonara Pizzetta

The garlic and parmesan are the two flavors that come out the most in here. Again, the flavor of the bacon is once again masked by other ingredients, but that didn’t take away our enjoyment of it! We loved that the dough itself wasn’t too thick and didn’t overpower the toppings. It was well-balanced overall, so we’d love to see this one return!

Drinks

In terms of drinks at this menu, we got the family-friendly Cherry Cola Cold Brew for $7.50.  This is made with Joffrey’s Coffee 70th Anniversary Blend, oat milk, and vanilla crème and cherry syrups, topped with a cherry cola cold foam and a maraschino cherry.

Cherry Cola Cold Brew

The cherry cola is the main flavor here, and we really only tasted the coffee on the backend. It lingered on our tongue a bit, but not unpleasantly. The cold foam was so thick it was hard to drink without a straw, as well as a little unbalanced, so we do recommend snagging a straw to mix it all up to even out all the flavors!

Definitely grab a straw!

Finally, we tried the new Seaborn Strawberry Lemonade Margarita for $18.25.

Seaborn Strawberry Lemonade Margarita

This is super light and refreshing, and the main flavor here is strawberry! Both the lemonade and the alcohol are just small hints of flavor, so you’ve really got to enjoy the flavor of the strawberry to like this drink, and we’d equate it more to a hard seltzer than a margarita since it’s so light.

OVERALL
