Feliz Dia de Margarita Nacional
Or as we say here…Happy National Margarita Day! This lively cocktail can be traced back to the early 1930′s and has been making revelers pucker their lips and squint their eyes ever since. So what kind of margarita are you? Are you tart or sweet? Rocks or frozen? Salt or no salt? Whatever your concoction of choice is, be sure to celebrate at one of these popular Atlanta locales for margaritas done right. You’ll be glad you did.
Agave
Topping out our list of places to celebrate National Margarita Day is Agave. Named appropriately after the Mexican plant in which tequila is derived from, Agave has been serving up the frothy mixture since 2000. Complete with over 100 different tequilas, Agave holds the title of the most extensive tequila menu in Atlanta. The freshly squeeze lime juice daily is what gives their margaritas their signature flair. Be sure to sip on our personal fave, The Corzo Perfecto with Corzo Super Premium Reposado, agave nectar & fresh lime.

The chain located in Buckhead, Midtown, and favorite Grant Park, is our beloved dive bar for great food and all things margarita. Tin Lizzy’s succeeds at offering affordable, tasty, and memorable food and drink combinations to keep you coming back for more.
