Enjoy this tantalising classic cocktail in the heart of Cuba... well, Deansgate. Premium tequila and Cointreau are fiercely shaken up with lime juice and sugar to get the party started at Revolucion. Visit during happy hour to team with tasty tapas, or knock them back for the perfect pre-drinks.
Vowing for the top spot of best margarita in Manchester? Foundry Project's El Jimador blanco tequila, orange liqueur and lime muddle doesn't stray far from the traditional recipe, meaning it's a great choice when you've got a hankering for the real deal.
Fronting two different margs, Arcane is the cocktail hotspot that certainly won't leave you disappointed when sipping on your favourite concoction. Better yet, their signature menu boasts a further tequila and mezcal mix, with green chartreuse, lime, cucumber and chile de arbol to boot, if you want to try something a little different.
For the best frozen margarita recipe in Manchester, it has to be Be At One. With classic, strawberry and mango flavours to choose between, this laid-back joint is a no-brainer. Better yet, there's a classic Tommy's on the menu too if you want something more traditional.
Searching for the best menu chock full of margs? Grab an exceptional mix in this grotto of Mexican deliciousness, where Olmeca Altos Blanco, watermelon, lime and shebert are shaken over ice and completed by a salt-rubbed rim. If you're keeping it classic, there's a traditional tipple for that too.
Sandinista is home to a number of tequila-inspired mixes that are sure to add a dash of South American flair to your next night out. Get your hands on frozen margaritas in a number of fruity and tropical flavours, with other tipples available too when you're looking to keep it classic.
While best known for its namesake tipple, the mango marg at Dirty Martini isn't to be passed up either. When only the fruitiest riff on your fav cocktail will do, this place has it and the Instagrammable space to match. Plus their tequila and marg masterclass is unmissable.
This Northern Quarter party palace is one of the best places for margaritas in Manchester. When you're not dancing to live tunes or chugging craft beers in this rock 'n' roll den, taste your way through a tequila concoction created by charming bartenders.
You may not expect this Chorlton boozer to serve some of the city's very best margs, but trust us, you'll be pleasantly surprised. To round off the tequila-laced experience, this place is pairing its signature sips with teryaki jackfruit tacos, barbacoa beef tacos and chilli chicken tostadas.
The best spicy margarita recipe in Manchester? The Counter House is vowing for that top spot with their chilli number, which is laced with hot liqueur. Settle down across this foliage-packed space to give it a try.
Luck, Lust, Liquor & Burn have a whole menu dedicated to margies, covering everything from the classic to frozen blends. If you're looking for something different, go for the strawberry and aloe or cherry and hibiscus options.
The tastiest frozen versions? Crazy Pedro's is calling your name. Whipping up all sorts of agave-infused creations, this pizza parlour is doing far more than just slices. Choose between the mezcal margs and Tommy's classic mix, or sip on icy ones flavoured like woo woo, twista, pornstar and more.
After margaritas on a Manchester menu? The watermelon one at the gorgeous Lono Cove is sure to satisfy. Make this tropical paradise your next destination for lashings of tequila across fruity cocktails.
From burgers and bottomless brunches to a drinks list that includes the thirst-quenching margarita rosada, The Pen & Pencil has you sorted. Wrap your lips around this perfectly balanced drink that mixes tequila with Gabriel Boudier passionfriuit, cranberry and lime.
Home to maybe the best margarita recipe in Manchester, El Gato Negro is the place for an elderflower riff on the classic. That's El Jimador tequila, St Germain, mint and cucumber number that's as refreshing as it is heady.
Altrincham's The Con Club is already bound to impress with its hidden rooftop tipi and contemporary interiors, but how about the all-important marg? El Jimador tequila, Cointreau, lime and sweet gomme make this muddle typical of the classic cocktail.
