World Margarita Day on February 22 is like Christmas and a birthday rolled into one, in fact, it might just be my favourite annual holiday.
So, ahead of the day, we’ve whipped up a list in honour of the classic cocktail and highlighted some spots where you can enjoy the legendary mix of lime juice, triple sec and tequila.
“Go ahead, Marg my day,”
Dirty Harry
Bank Street Social
Bank Street Social do an incredible job at capturing the tart authentic flavour of a classic Margarita. Through the use of agave syrup, strained through a stainless-steel shaker packed with ice, the end product is supremely chilled when poured into a coupe glass.
This underground hangout on the side streets of Hindley in the Adelaide CBD is dimly lit, suave and sophisticated, with pizzas on stand-by and candles flickering on tables.
WHERE: 48 Hindley St, Adelaide SA 5000
PRICE: $22 a Margarita
Mia Margarita
Mia Margarita pairs its stunning atmosphere with its signature Mexican menu. Across two floors, there is no corner in which you cannot taste their Margaritas. As Dorothy followed the yellow brick road, you can follow the neon pink signage in order to sample this Henley staple.
