The editorial take
Chili's Grill & Bar runs its beverage program around a rotating $6 Margarita of the Month, a year-long series that has included Shark Attack Marg, Cosmo Marg, and Popping Boba Marg. The standing lineup covers Casamigos Marg, Henny Marg, Presidente Margarita, and Skinny Marg, with named spirits like Casamigos Reposado, Hennessy V.S, and Teremana Blanco. A Margarita of the Month Club offers membership sign-up and branded merchandise. Nonalcoholic options include house-made lemonades and iced teas in flavors such as Dragonfruit Lemonade and Blackberry Iced Tea.
- What should I order?
- Start with the $6 Margarita of the Month; September's Cherry Limeade Marg uses el Jimador Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Monin Grenadine, house-made sour, and Sprite. For a named premium pour, the Casamigos Marg pairs Casamigos Reposado with Cointreau and house-made sour, while the Skinny Marg shakes Teremana Blanco with house-made sour and a splash of soda. Nonalcoholic drinkers can order the Dragonfruit Lemonade or Blackberry Iced Tea.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a Margarita-focused drink list with a rotating monthly feature and named premium spirits will find plenty to choose from. The $6 Margarita of the Month and the Margarita of the Month Club suit casual repeat visits. Nonalcoholic drinkers get a full set of house-made lemonades and iced teas.
- When should I go?
- The Margarita of the Month is available from restaurant open to close, so it fits any visit window. The rotating monthly format gives a reason to return as the featured margarita changes. Nonalcoholic lemonades and iced teas are available alongside the full beverage menu.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Margarita of the Month is priced at $6. Other margaritas and beverages do not have listed prices in the approved packet, so the $6 monthly feature is the clear value anchor on the cocktail side.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A year-long rotating Margarita of the Month at $6, backed by a Margarita of the Month Club with membership sign-up and branded merchandise, sets the program apart. The standing margarita list names premium spirits including Casamigos, Hennessy, Don Julio, and Patron, while house-made lemonades and iced teas round out the nonalcoholic side.
