What to Do Today: Celebrate International Margarita Day

Stuck on what to do today? Let us help you. This Friday 22 February, we recommend that you properly celebrate International Margarita Day…

Celebrate International Margarita Day

Café Pacifico x Jose Cuervo

Head to Café Pacifico who’ve collaborated with Jose Cuervo to create a limited edition margarita menu consisting of the Kombucha Margarita, the Cuervo Tradicional, and the Cuervo Tradicional Watermelon Margarita. They’ll only be on the menu for a week from 18th February, so we recommend getting down ASAP. Plus, if you want a money-free margarita, head there at 4 pm and be one of the first 30 people there – then, you’ll get a free margarita! Simply say to the bartender, “Make mine a Cuervo Tradicional Margarita, please!”. cafe-pacifico.com
