Margarita Mile and Visit Dallas
Dallas, the Official Home of the Frozen Margarita, is home to the famous Margarita Mile, a collection of noteworthy margaritas to try across the city, paying homage to the city’s historic connection with the iconic beverage. On May 11, 1971, Dallas restaurateur Mariano Martinez invented the frozen margarita machine – forever freezing in time the city’s claim to America’s favorite cocktail. From the original at Mariano’s Hacienda in East Dallas to a liquid-nitrogen-frozen ’rita at Beto & Son across the river to the west, think of the experience as Dallas’ ultimate margarita bucket list.
