Honeymoon Eats Part 1: Disney's Animal Kingdom Sunset Margarita

Ahh, nothing like a margarita at noon.  And this wasn't your ordinary margarita.  Thanks to reading up on a Disney blog, I was advised to hit up the Dawa Bar in Africa, inside Disney's Animal Kingdom resort and order a Sunset Margarita.  Usually I'm not one for needing alcohol to get through a disney park, but the day was hot and the reviews were amazing, so we had to see what the fuss was about.  When we sat down we were immediately excited- this outdoor bar was nestled in the back of a restaurant, and we had a view of the park perimeter, the restaurant, the African designed streets, and the live entertainment that was grabbing park guests to dance to a tribal drum.  We ordered our drinks and were told that we must be veterans- these drinks are now only available on request and have not been on their menu in years.  They were worth the wait.  Fruity, salty, refreshing and delicious.  Our bartender woudn't tell us what was in it, but we guessed a bit of Chambord was one of their secret ingredients.  We stayed for a while and enjoyed the music, had a second just to beat the heat, and left with the agreement that we could not enjoy a day at Animal Kingdom from now on without having a Sunset Margarita.
