NO. 1
Blanco Tacos + Tequila
Offering a fresh twist on Mexican food favorites, Blanco Tacos + Tequila is the perfect place to sit back, relax and enjoy a refreshing margarita on a summer day. With locations in the Biltmore Fashion Park and The Borgata in Scottsdale (as well as inside Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport for the jet set), this easy, breezy hangout makes its version of the prickly pear margarita with Jose Cuervo Silver, St. Germain and their own prickly pear sour made with lime juice, pear puree, Desert Pear Monin, lemon juice and simple syrup.
NO. 2
Joyride Taco House
There’s no denying that margaritas and tacos are a match made in heaven. Nothing beats sipping a cold, fruity marg in between bites of delicious tacos spilling over with steak, pork, chicken, fish or shrimp. Making the most of this dynamic duo is Joyride Taco House, located in north central Phoenix as well as Gilbert. Fresh and fruity, this prickly pear margarita is made with tequila, triple sec, prickly pear and fresh lime.
NO. 3
Palette at Phoenix Art Museum
Inspired by the bounty that springs forth from the rich Arizona land, Palette offers a seasonally‑focused menu featuring organic vegetables, local meats, and unique beers and wines made throughout the state. So it only makes sense that this lovely café, surrounded by stunning art at the Phoenix Art Museum, would offer its own version of the prickly pear margarita. Here it’s made with white tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and prickly pear, served with a salted glass rim.
