March 24 marks National Cocktail Day, so what better way to celebrate than share Editor Haley’s go-to spots for specialty margaritas around Chattanooga?

  • 423 Taco | 212 W. 8th St. | We recommend trying out the “Mango Lovers” + “Pink Cadillac” signature flavors — bonus: try building your own margarita flight for $30.
  • Agave & Rye | 185 Chestnut St. | Enjoy a “sparkling rose + peach bellini margarita” or a “jalapeño pineapple margarita” — pro tip: you can get any of their drinks made in a pitcher to share.
  • Mezcla Cocina Y Cantina | 2 Cherokee Blvd. | We love this spot’s flavor offerings like blood orange, hibiscus + a tropical margarita with guava, pineapple, and more. Note: Not wanting alcohol? Try their “virgin tropical margarita.”
  • Unknown Caller | 715 Cherry St. | Check out their Tequila Tuesday deals + try a Tajín-rimmed margarita — this spot also offers many low or non-alcholic options.
