The editorial take
Las Margaritas runs a wide cocktail program with a devoted non-alcoholic section. The winter menu brings seasonal turns like Butterkissed Snowman and Santa's Sangria, while the house-made Bloody Mary mix has drawn customer praise. Tequila spans from Silver to Añejo, and the playful peach mimosa served in a purse-like container adds a memorable flourish.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Ultra Top Shelf Margarita, a house staple that anchors the extensive margarita list. For something seasonal, the Butterkissed Snowman from the winter menu offers a timely twist. If you are skipping alcohol, the Virgin Red Hibiscus Sangria delivers a fruity, tea-forward alternative.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers looking for a broad margarita selection and seasonal specialties will find plenty to explore. The dedicated 'Taken the Pledge' section with named sober cocktails makes this a practical stop for groups mixing drinkers and non-drinkers, and the kids' smoothies extend the appeal to families.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Winter cocktails are priced from $12 to $16; expect a similar range for the broader cocktail list, with non-alcoholic options likely lower.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program sets itself apart with a seasonal winter cocktail menu and a creative non-alcoholic section with names like Sworn Off Colada and Untoxicated Mojito. Customer accounts highlight house-made Bloody Mary and Michelada mixes, plus a peach mimosa served in a purse-like container, adding a playful streak to the bar.
