Tequila, the core ingredient in margaritas, has a long history in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Because of that, the city created a Margarita Trail, a sippable path through area restaurants and bars, putting unique spins on the iconic drink. It could be the ingredients, what’s on the rim, the garnish – each margarita featured has its own personality, and each is representative of the place in which it is enjoyed. Whether you purchase the pocket-sized book, or the smartphone app, you are guided as to where to go to get a discounted price on a very special cocktail.

Listen to our podcast conversation with the Margarita Trail organizers and three restaurateurs/bar tenders who make amazing margaritas:

No, you aren’t meant to stagger your way through the Trail – you are only allowed a certain number per day. But the real beauty is that the Margarita Trail passport doesn’t expire (it does get updated with new drinks every year). So, among so many other reasons to return, continuing your path, getting to know the bartenders, the restaurants, the ingredients, the local flavor, is motivation indeed to journey to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
