Whether you’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo, National Margarita Day, or just raising a glass with friends, the best margaritas are found in Texas. Go for the classic lime, tequila, and triple sec on the rocks or change it up with a frozen mango margarita with tajin rim. Whatever kind of marg you order, it’s always a good choice.

Did you know? Some margarita scholars (a very made up, but deserving title) say that the marg was first invented in Texas’ own Tommy’s Place on Juarez Avenue in El Paso. Despite many different claims, we like to think the summer of 1942 was just one of the Lone Star State’s contributions to society.
