Mark Your Calendars! bartaco’s Margarita March Has Arrived

If you’re looking to shake things up a bit on National Margarita Day with a tasty new marg, I suggest stopping by bartaco for an early preview of Margarita March. Beginning on National Margarita Day (Feb. 22), bartaco will introduce an exciting, new cocktail and will do so weekly through the end of March.

First up at bartaco is the Lime In The Coconut, a tequila-based cocktail that will swiftly transport you to the sandy beaches of Playa del Carmen. The Lime In The Coconut will be available from Feb. 22 - Mar. 1.

I had the opportunity to stop by bartaco to sample the Lime In The Coconut ahead of its release and I was immediately impressed. The Lime In The Coconut was reminiscent of a boozy lime creamsicle or even a key lime martini, but it wasn't incredibly sweet either (a definite plus). I was really surprised to find that there isn’t any kind of cream in this sip since it was a bit on the frothy side. And if you’re hungry, which let’s face it — I’m sure you will be, this cocktail pairs really well with the current secret taco at bartaco (crispy avocado).

The second cocktail I sampled was the Hibiscus Mezcalita, which will be available the second week of Margarita March. The vibrant color of the Hibiscus Mezcalita and the edible flower garnish makes this sip super Instagram-worthy. What I enjoyed most about this Margarita March cocktail is that the smokiness of the mezcal was very much present. It wasn’t lost at all in the medley of flavors present in this sip (ginger, hibiscus and blood orange).

While I highly suggest you stop by bartaco this week to try my new favorite, the Lime In The Coconut, you’ve got quite a few weeks to sample their Margarita March cocktails! Please see below for a full list of cocktails, their ingredients and when they’ll be available. Cheers!
