National Margarita Day is coming up on the 22nd! It’s everyone’s favorite time of year again! Or wait, is that just me? I’m sure I can’t be alone in my love for honoring the timeless, refreshing, oh-so-delicious cocktail that is the Margarita. It’s a Texas staple, and even though it might be cold outside now, a Margarita can warm you up just as much as it can cool you down. No matter the time of year, we shall always honor the Margarita here in Houston.
I did the “hard” research, so you don’t have to. I give you – the best Margaritas in Houston!
