Summer is on the horizon, and you know what that means it’s time to start strategizing all of the ways to beat the sweltering desert heat when it arrives. One of our favorite ways to cool off? With a cold, refreshing drink in hand – especially a margarita. Mexican food just isn’t complete without one of these classic cocktails, so we’ve created a “Margarita Marathon” that will lead you to nine of Arizona’s finest watering holes. Grab a designated driver and set out on this cool trip to decide which margarita reigns supreme.
You’ll find a customizable Google Map with locations and exact driving directions here. Cheers!
With 11 different margaritas to choose from, this hip Phoenix watering hole certainly lives up to its name. Add-ins like watermelon syrup, mango puree, and pineapple juice take this already refreshing summertime drink to a whole new level. Enjoying a night out with all your friends? Order a fish bowl that’s big enough for everyone.

Joyride might be known for its unique taco creations, but Mexican food just isn't complete unless accompanied by a margarita. Go with a cucumber serrano if you're craving a little heat, or opt for the strawberry hibiscus for something fruity and fun.
