It's World Margarita Day! Here's where to go drinking

You just can't go wrong with a spot that names itself after the iconic tipple. Since 1988, it has been serving up hearty Mexican fare and of course, margaritas. But if you're looking to up the ante, ask the bartender for a Machetazo mezcal margarita.

Smoke and Mirrors got out of the think tank with a brilliant contemporary take on the margarita. Inspired by "wok hei" aka the smoky kiss of the wok, tequila is fat-washed with Cured Chinese Lap Cheong sausage, then shaken with Cointreau, Mezcal, and a homemade lime cordial topped with a crisp dried shrimp wanton cracker. A final touch of delicate Lap Cheong smoke delivers a multi-sensory experience, all in one tipple.

This buzzy taqueria is known for downright delicious Mexican grub and margaritas, whether frozen or shaken. But if you're feeling brave, order up Papi's Spicy Mango Margarita. It drinks tropical, citrusy and peppery, a tipple that is bound to tingle your senses.

February 22 to 27

Good Intentions' twist on the classic is the Strawberry Margarita, it opts for fresh, seasonal fruitiness and honey-like agave to create this smooth-tasting, berry-tangy rendition. The use of the Altos Blanco Tequila here brings balance; lending a herbaceous, citric and peppery bite to this fruity showstopper.
 


This OG Mexican spot needs no introductions with their legendary margaritas. But we're here to give the Mandarina a shout! An oriental take on the classic stars juicy, bitter-sweet oranges and delicate Patron Anejo to bring you a thirst-quenching tipple that is packed with citrus notes. The perfect bevvy for a balmy day!

Super Loco's own take is the El Trópico Margarita. With pineapple as the star ingredient of the build, this refreshingly fresh but boozy tipple is definitely not one to fool around with.
