Mostly As: Bad Boujee & Boozie at El Alma Cafe y Cantina

You’re a bad bitch and you know it, and you’re here for the highly ‘grammable #nationalmargaritaday. See and be seen at the rooftop bar of this hip Barton Springs spot, where you can sip in style. With a menu full of margaritas ranging from the traditional tequila-cointreau-lime juice melange to spicy watermelon, coconut pineapple, and even avocado and ghost pepper varieties, El Alma is the ultimate in colorful, flavorful, photographable margarita experimentation. Sidle over after work and snap a few flatlays so people know you’re celebrating in style.

Mostly Bs: An Old-School Austinite at Texas Chili Parlor

Trendy restaurants and bars come and go, but for you, the classics can’t be beat. You want your margaritas no nonsense, no fruit, and served with minimum fuss at a place where they’ve been doing things right longer than you’ve been legally allowed to drink. It doesn’t get more classic than the Texas Chili Parlor, where the beer is cold, the chili is hot, and the bartenders won’t try too hard to make small talk. And if the Mad Dog Margarita, which uses mezcal rather than tequila, giving it an extra smoky kick, was good enough for Guy Clark, it’s good enough for you.

Mostly Cs: Party Monster at Polvos Mexican Restaurant

Your taste in margaritas is simple, straightforward, and rooted in a deep appreciation of fun. You’re not here for connoisseurship or tequila expertise; you’re here to party, and margaritas are the ultimate party drink. Polvos is famous for their frozen margaritas, which you can order one at a time (yeah, right) or in pitchers to share with your many friends. Taste your way through their menu of fruity varieties, or stick to the refreshing and crisp classic frozen lime – the perfect accompaniment for a shared platter of nachos de lujo or choriquizo.

Mostly Ds: Mezcal Maniac at Techo Mezcaleria & Agave Bar

You’d never admit it, but this is a safe space so let’s fess up to the fact that you probably look down your nose a little bit at the excesses of margarita culture. You dream of going to Oaxaca for a mezcal-oriented road trip, but until then, the next best thing is sipping through the tasting menu at this craft intensive mezcal bar, where they take the spirit as seriously as you do. You might even stick your neck out and sample their frozen mezcal margarita, which is not super sweet, and low key enough to let the flavors of the spirit shine through.
