The editorial take
Chili's Grill & Bar runs a beverage program built around a rotating Margarita of the Month, with September's Cherry Limeade Marg featuring el Jimador Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Monin Grenadine, house-made sour, and Sprite. The margarita lineup includes Casamigos Marg, Henny Marg, Presidente Margarita, and Skinny Marg, with branded spirits like Casamigos, Hennessy, Teremana, and Lunazul. Happy hour brings $6 Margarita of the Month, $7 Tequila Classic Marg, and beer from $3 to $5. House red and white wine are $5, and nonalcoholic options include house-made lemonades and flavored iced teas.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Cherry Limeade Marg, the September Margarita of the Month at $6, made with el Jimador Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Monin Grenadine, house-made sour, and Sprite. For a richer pour, the Casamigos Marg uses Casamigos Reposado Tequila with Cointreau and house-made sour. If you prefer a lighter option, the Skinny Marg combines Teremana Blanco Tequila, house-made sour, and a splash of soda.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone looking for a straightforward margarita program with recognizable spirits and a rotating monthly feature. The happy hour pricing and alcohol to go make it a practical stop for a casual drink, and the nonalcoholic lemonades and iced teas give non-drinkers a reason to join.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the clear draw for value, with margarita and beer specials. The Margarita of the Month changes each month, so if a particular featured margarita appeals, plan around that month. Alcohol to go is available if you prefer to drink elsewhere.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour margaritas are $6 for the Margarita of the Month and $7 for the Tequila Classic Marg. Beer runs $3 to $5 depending on brand and size, and house red or white wine is $5. Signature margaritas like Casamigos Marg and Henny Marg are priced individually.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A rotating Margarita of the Month program with a Margarita of the Month Club, including member merchandise, sets the margarita lineup apart from a static cocktail list. The location supports it with happy hour pricing and alcohol to go.
