The Margarita Review
The Margarita was invented by Margarita Samas in 1948 during a poolside party at her Acapulco vacation house. Sitting beside her pool, Margarita started mixing her two favorite spirits, Cointreau & tequila together. The result was simply called “the drink” until Margarita’s husband presented her w/ glassware [with] her name etched on it –& the “Margarita” was born.

Top Shelf Margarita
Chili’s
Php 210
In my book, Chili’s Top Shelf Margarita takes the cake as the best Margarita in town. Frozen on the rocks with the right mix of Sauza Gold Tequila, Cointreau® and GranGala, the Top Shelf is a refreshing and exciting drink that gives you that buzz without that bitter alcohol-aftertaste. Served in a large beer mug, Chili’s Top Shelf Margarita gives you good value for your money –this slushy and tasty cocktail can last for hours of conversation. It’s not just about quantity, of course. It has a perfect combination of sweet, sour and salty (and 0 bitterness) that any margarita should have.
Better with an order of Bottomless Nachos!
Original Margarita
Tia Maria’s Cantina
Php 315 (Pitcher) / Php 98 (Glass)
Tia Maria’s has been known for serving great cocktails, especially their Original Margarita. Mixed with silver tequila, triple sec, lime juice and some syrup, their Original Margarita does not disappoint with the bold and tangy tequila, orange and lime flavors. It does, however, have a bitter aftertaste and is served cold, but with almost-melted ice.
The Original Margarita can be served in a margarita glass or a pitcher. Their pitcher, however, is now smaller than it used to be (just a little bigger than a standard-size beer mug). Ordering a pitcher gives you far better value than ordering a glass. A pitcher is equivalent to about 6 margarita glasses (P 52/glass) –perfect for groups of 2-4.
Better with Chicken / Beef Fajitas or Nachos (with everything on it)!
