Is there a more perfect drink to sip on in the sun than one that is the perfect blend of zesty, sweet, salty, spicy and refreshing? Nobody’s doing it like margaritas, and with so many flavours and varieties to try, it’s no wonder there’s a whole day — and in some cases, spoiler alert, a whole month — dedicated to this fun fruity drink!
Howard Smith Wharves
The riverside precinct is again turning International Margarita Day into an 11-day celebration alongside iconic tequila brand, Patrón. From Thursday, March 5 to Sunday March 15, make your way to Howard Smith Wharves and enjoy an all-encompassing fiesta.
Across both weekends, Michelin Guide-recommended Mexico City taquería El Vilsito will make its Australian debut at HSW, bringing all the flavour and vibrancy of Mexican culinary culture.
Besides stirred, shaken and frozen margs, there’ll be plenty of other treats. Get into the mood with crowdpleasers like watermelon, frozen mango and blood orange margaritas, dance the night away to the live music, play games and even hit a piñata!
Iris Rooftop & Bar
Iris Rooftop is running a month-long margarita extravaganza, from Wednesday, February 18 to Sunday, March 29. It’s good news for anyone who enjoys a good personality quiz because they’ll have a personality-packed Patrón Margarita menu, with cheeky ‘What’s Your Flavour’ quiz cards!
Find out if you’re the Spicy One, the Classic One, the Fruity One or the Cool One, as you indulge in refreshing margs paired with mouth-watering tapas.
Poca Madre
Get ready to shake, sip, and celebrate, at Poca Madre! The aptly named taqueria (its name is Mexican slang for cool or awesome), is dedicating this whole month to the reina of Mexican cocktails, the margarita. But not just any margarita. They have their own signature Cointreau Margarita that’ll have you itching to get the recipe.
And guess what? They’re having a grand finale party on Sunday, February 22 with a DJ, games, and $15 margaritas all day! Get your free tickets aquí!
Osbourne Hotel
Celebrating margaritas for a whole month for all of February is the kind of extra we can get behind, and the Osbourne Hotel is taking it to the next level with three exclusive margaritas made especially for the occasion. Whether you’re in the mood for a little heat or craving tropical vibes they’ve got the perfect drink for you.
Better yet, on actual Margarita Day, Saturday, February 21, they’ll have an incredible lineup of incredible DJs from 2pm to 10pm, so you can dance to the beat while enjoying drinks from a roaming Patrón trolley — including a creative coffee tequila twist! — and Mexican classics like fresh guac, tacos, and nachos!
Felons Brewing Co.
In true Felons fashion, the Brewing Co. is shaking things up for Margarita Week, introducing a special cocktail-inspired beer — which they’re keeping under wraps until its tap debut on February 20.
But that’s not all! From Thursday, February 20 to Sunday, March 2, it’ll be a fiesta of flavours at the brewery with experimental margs and vibrant Mexican flavours served.
Story Bridge Hotel
Not to be outdone, Story Bridge Hotel is also having a week-long celebration, featuring a specially curated margarita menu with both classics and twists and, even better, cocktail masterclasses with Casamigos and Don Julio from Friday, February 21 to Sunday, February 22!
