REALLY GOOD
1st SPICY PINEAPPLE 'RITA
Red Lobster, Champaign
BRIEF: “Casamigos Reposado Tequila with jalapeño-infused pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and a zesty Tajin rim. 180 Cal” SOOT’S TAKE: Highly recommended by my server who seemed to need it herself.
2nd NEW CASA COLADA 'RITA
Red Lobster, Champaign
BRIEF: “Casamigos Reposado Tequila and Cointreau with pineapple juice, creamy coconut and fresh lime juice.” SOOT’S TAKE: Much needed after a long day.
3rd JEWEL'S WATERMELON MARGARITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Made with a simple syrup of 🍊 zest, Patrón tequila blanco, juice of calamansi and of course, 🍉. So refreshing in this sweltering heat.
4th MANGO PASSION FRUIT MARGARITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Today’s excuse to drink the tropics (+tequila). Happy National Margarita day! Also a great way to dispose of a whole lotta passionfruit.
5th FROZEN PASSION FRUIT AND MANGO MARGARITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Forget your classic frozen mango marg. Adding passionfruit to the mix makes it ever-so-slightly more delicious.
6th CADILLAC MARGARITA
El Comal, San Diego
HORNITOS REPOSADO TEQUILA, FRESH LIME JUICE, ORANGE JUICE AND AGAVE. TOPPED WITH GRAND MARNIER.
7th PRADORITA
Prado, San Diego
Took the advice of a local and got 3 margaritas for the price of 1: sauza blue, triple sec, lime juice, agave; shaken tableside
PRETTY GOOD
8th CORTIJO CLASSIC
El Cortijo Taqueria, Burlington
El Charro Silver, Citronge, agave, lime
9th SUPERGOLDEN BAKES’ STRAWBERRY JAM MARGARITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
It’s National Margarita Day, I have leftover strawberry jam from when I made sufganiyot, and I’m rarely not in need of a drink. The strawberry jam really comes through in this one. 🍓
10th EAT CHO FOOD’S ORANGE LEMONGRASS MARGARITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Margarita Day! I think the combination of lemongrass and OJ helped counter the harsh liquid detergent taste I often perceive and associate with lime juice in classic versions. I tried one version with mezcal and another with tequila blanco and ultimately preferred the latter, although I wish I could have teased more lemongrass out of the homespun simple syrup I had to concoct for this. Perhaps I’ll sub sparkling water for some of the OJ and lime juice next time? 🤷🏻‍♀️
11th DOWNSHIFTOLOGY’S FRESH MANGO MARGARITA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Can mangoes be so juicy they’d probably be better drunk? Yassss…
12th MARGARITA
San Diego Convention Center, San Diego
Stiff drink from the Pay Junction booth to enjoy in the sunset before an hour’s worth of feline allergy.
