Not that you need an excuse…but National Margarita Day is February 22 (oddly enough on a Wednesday). And, with our ever-fluctuating weather lately, we could all use some ice cold refreshment. Typically Margaritas contain at least two standard ingredients – tequila and limes, beyond that the options and creativity are endless. Here are five to try:
La Perla
Many happy hours have kicked off at La Perla, with their crowd pleasing Classic Margarita. Pitchers and rocks glasses topped with lime wedges are presented to tables for self-serve enjoyment, the way you would in your own backyard. “Our classic Margarita is so popular because we simply make it to order with fresh ingredients. No mixes or large batches ever at La Perla,” said owner Imran Khan.

Cantina Laredo
You will always find new and novel creations from the bartenders at Cantina Laredo. A cool and spicy combination, the Cucumber Chili Margarita, packs a punch at Cantina Laredo. A spicy blend of Sauza Cucumber Chili Tequila, Cointreau Orange Liqueur and margarita mix, this over-ice version is decorated with a fresh cucumber spear.

Revolver Taco Lounge
Regino Rojas puts as much love into the drink menu as his mother does in her delicate hand-made tortillas. “The Godfather” contains Casamigos Tequila Blanco, fresh pineapple juice, spicy halo holy salt, fresh squeezed lime juice. The fresh juices offer the perfect sweet and tangy backbone for the tequila to shine. The Casamigos mug is garnished with a lime wheel and fresh pineapple spear stir coated in more house blended tajin dust.

La Familia
The House Margarita is served on the rocks while the Family Slush is served frozen. Both are equally potent, meaning – you can taste the alcohol. A frosted schooner (large size) or a mug (regular size) are decorated with lime wedges and a tequila soaked sugar cube is perched atop and then set on fire tableside providing a fun pyrotechnic display.

It is prepared with Cazadores Reposado tequila, Cointreau Noir liqueur and fresh squeezed lime juice. Served in a schooner, the Cadillac is high octane, and limited to two per customer. Take it out for a spin.
