Drink Your Way Through Colorado On The Margarita Mile

The Western Slope is known as Colorado’s wine country, but did you know that this region also whips up some mean margaritas? When the weather is warm, there is nothing quite as relaxing and refreshing as sipping a tasty marg on a shaded patio, which is why we want to treat you to an incredible afternoon along this Durango Margarita Marathon! Grab some comfortable walking shoes and/or a designated driver – let’s go!

There is no better place to begin our marathon than at San Marcos Mexican Restaurant, which features great food and drinks in the heart of downtown Durango. Not sure when to go? We recommend hitting Happy Hour, which takes place every day from 2 to 5 p.m. and features $7 house margaritas (and $2.75 draft beers, if that's more your style). Olé!

Serving the community since 1999, Tequila's will make you think you left the Centennial State for a cabana in Acapulco thanks to its strong drinks and the tropical ambiance.

Do you want a margarita that is as beautiful as it is delicious? You have come to the right place! While the Mezcalita Margarita with fresh watermelon (pictured above) may seem too pretty to drink, we highly suggest you work past these feelings and get to sipping, as it truly tastes as good as it looks!

Are you getting a little munchie from all of this delicious fruit-infused tequila? Good, because Nini's is not only famous for their frozen margaritas (try the mango!), but also their homemade chips and salsa.
