I have a favor to ask...

If any of you are going to WDW soon, specifically EPCOT, could you take a stroll by the Tutto Italia stand out in front of the Italy pavilion and check to see if they are still serving the Italian Margheritas?

We love those things, and they apparently aren't listed on the online menu anymore. I'm going to be slightly disappointed if I can't sip on one while waiting for Illuminations in November.

Anyone? No?

Okay. Guess I'll be finding out soon enough, then.

Hey pugmalion!

Iâ€™ll be heading over on August 28th. I made myself a reminder to take a look for you. And Iâ€™ll try to remember keep an eye out during subsequent visits (especially during F&W Festival!).

Ah, thanks a bunch.

Like I said, I'll be there in November, so no sweat if you forget. It would just be nice to know in advance since it was a favorite of ours. I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone, though. People are afraid of grappa.

Personally, I think a good grappa is an awesome thing. Better than a good white tequila, at least.

Hopefully they'll still have them and I'll have to give on a try when I'm there! Very Happy

They have a recipe on allears.net from the former Alfredo's:
Yield: 1 serving
1 ounce Grappa
1 ounce Limoncello
6 ounces Margarita mix
Blend with ice to make frozen and enjoy!

Also, their menu from 9/09 has them on the menu, but wdwinfo.com's menu from 6/10 doesn't list them.

BUT WAIT! Via Napoli lists them (magicalkingdoms.com, 8/10).

Anyhoo - I'll check into it when I'm there, because now I want one!

We've tried to make them at home before, but they just never turn out as good. I think maybe Disney uses a Margarita mix that I can't get, or maybe one of their own making. In any case, theirs are better, and now I want one, too.

Great news, pug! They are still available at the kiosk! $10

We didn't this time around, but I dont think we will be passing on it next time in World Showcase. It does sound tasty!

I'll see if I can find you a name or brand! I work for Coronado (which uses Spring Foods,so I'll check elsewhere), and will keep my eye out if I remember!
