National Margarita Day will soon be upon us, and as a public service, we thought we’d share the news just in case you weren’t aware 1) that such a day existed, and; 2) that there’s a specific way to celebrate it. So, to help ensure you’re on the right page and don’t do something that’s out of the norm in recognizing National Margarita Day, we thought we’d first let you know how to observe it. Drink a margarita. That’s it. But, don’t just drink it, push your glass aside, and say, “Well, that’s done.” Instead, savor the flavors; the blending of the tequila into the drink, the taste of the lime as it sends you to your favorite destination in your mind, and the sensation of knowing that triple sec was designed to partner with these two to make the perfect drink. And, since some of you may be at a loss for where to find such a beverage in all its perfection (especially since it’ll be in high demand on National Margarita Day), here is a list of five places in Texas to get a great margarita!

1. Michin Grill Kitchen & Tequila Bar

Stone Oak’s Michin Grill Kitchen & Tequila Bar, located at 427 North Loop 1604 W. #202 in San Antonio, is celebrating National Margarita Day on Thursday, February 22 from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. with $3 off margaritas. They have five great margarita options on their menu, and with that, you can slide on up to the bar and “celebrate” to your heart’s content!

2. The Pastry War

A Houston favorite, The Pastry War is named for an 1838 conflict between France and Mexico, and the place is famous for serving up the best spirits that Mexico has mustered. Subsequently, it’s going to be a hot spot on National Margarita Day! Located at 310 South Main St., they have three flavor options on their margarita menu, all of which are seductively tempting!

3. Gerardo’s Casita

Located in Midland at 2407 N Big Spring St., Gerardo’s Casita features margaritas which are practically the same size as your head and come in such a variety of flavors, it’ll make said head spin. Labeled “Margaritaville” in their menu, one can imbibe a great house margarita, a fruity-flavored margarita, a top-shelf drink, or one with Patron which has flavors that are so good, it’s practically indescribable!

4. Blue Mesa Grill

Featuring beautiful blue margaritas, Blue Mesa Grill at 612 Carroll St. in Fort Worth would be a great Texas locale in which to celebrate National Margarita Day. Their Tequila Bar menu is considerable and it’s entirely possible that a flight of tequilas might try to draw your attention away from what you’re celebrating…which wouldn’t really be possible, would it?

5. Squeeze Ritas & Tequilas

Located at 3204 Seawall Blvd. in Galveston, Squeeze Ritas & Tequilas allows you to have a drink with a view! What better way to celebrate National Margarita Day than by staring out dreamily over the waters of the Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico? They feature more than 20 margaritas to pique your interest, so it’s doubtful you’ll ever have a dull moment in the process!
