That makes Dallas the perfect place to celebrate National Tequila Day this Saturday, July 24. We know you’re also looking for drink specials and parties on this frivolous, yet ever-so-necessary marketing holiday, and we’ve found more than a few for you. Dive into this list for flavorful drinks and fun to enjoy this Saturday.
More than Margs from Socorro Tequila
We first introduced you to Socorro Tequila founders Josh Irving and Pablo Antinori when Beto and Sons launched their Flora Liquid Nitrogen Margarita this winter. Now you can find specialty cocktails made with Socorro all around town, even if you’re looking for something other than a margarita.
The Palomita at Up On Knox is made with Socorro Blanco, Ilegal Mezcal, Cointreau, grapefruit, lime and agave. At Union Bear Brewing Co. in Plano, try the Skinny Bear made with Socorro Blanco, lime, agave and Tajín.
For martini lovers, all locations of Mesero serve an espresso martini dusted with cinnamon and made with Socorro Silver, Cantera Negra and cold brew coffee.
