Shout salud for Margarita Month at these Brisbane bars

Tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice. It’s a simple yet delicious recipe – so delicious, in fact, that it’s made the Margarita one of the top ten most-ordered cocktails in the world. First made in Amatitán in central Mexico exactly 150 years ago, Herradura Tequila is the award-winning, 100 percent blue agave tequila that is perfect for celebrating National Margarita Day on Saturday, February 22. But one day is never enough, and the Margaritas will keep flowing throughout February, with 20 venues in and around Brisbane offering special deals and limited-edition drinks made with Herradura’s premium spirits. Here’s where to raise a glass during National Margarita Month.
