Join us on a hunt to find the ultimate serve of a classic cocktail.
Few cocktails are as universally beloved as the margarita. Tequila, Triple Sec, lime juice and a salt rim. So simple and so endlessly enjoyable, every damn time. What’s even better is that this summer, you’ve got a time-limited chance to try a unique spin on the classic drink.
Herradura Tequila has teamed up with venues across Australia to serve memorable spins on the cocktail, and we’ve gathered up a selection of our favourites, alongside the list of every bar in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane that’s taking part in the celebrations. Get ready to make this summer the summer of margs.
