Where to drink excellent margaritas in Dripping Springs, TX

Whether on the rocks, frozen, or swirled with fruit, margaritas just might be Dripping Springs’ favorite cocktail. This classic combination of lime juice, salt, tequila, is perfect on its own, yet somehow more interesting when earthy sotol, fresh fruit purees, and inventive garnishes are added into the mix.

Everyone’s got their own preferences when it comes to this classic cocktail, from the simplest of drinks to fancy, fruit-forward creations. Let this map of excellent Dripping Springs margarita options serve as a guide to one of the area’s most popular cocktails.

Flores Mexican Restaurants have been Tex-Mex staples in the Austin area for decades. Head to the Dripping Springs location to try La Flor – the Flores family's famous hand-shaken margarita! It’s made with 100% agave Cazadores Blanco, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, a splash of OJ, and sweet & sour. Try the Florita, the same tasty margarita, just frozen!

Head to Hays City Store, one of the area’s most favorite restaurants to try one of their many margs on the menu. If you’re having trouble choosing one of their many delicious fruit-infused margaritas like the cucumber jalapeno, order the Margarita Flight. The sampler comes with four different mini margaritas and is the best way to try of few of their most popular concoctions. The sampler is best enjoyed outside on the patio where you can listen to live music most days of the week!

Route 12 has mastered the art of the classic margarita. On the rocks or frozen, theirs is the kind of margarita that's equal parts easy to drink and refreshing on a hot day. Our favorite is the Route 12 Frozen Sangria Swirl Margarita, the perfect twist!

Paloma's is the new kid on the block and they are bringing some great food and drinks to Dripping Springs! You can play on their mini golf course while sipping a Mangonada Margarita, agave tequila with spicy chamoy, tajin and fresh lime.

Want to sip on a margarita at the #1 craft distillery in America? Then a visit to Desert Door is a must and the cocktail of choice is the River Rita. The sweet citrusy and herbal flavor of sotol is reminiscent of a desert gin crossed with a smooth sipping tequila. The River Rita is mixed with the earthy, herbaceous sotol, lime juice, pomegranate and pineapple, and agave nectar. It’s impossible to have just one.

El Rey isn’t going to win any awards for creativity, but they’re perfectly balanced and the tequila is generously poured. Order up the crowd favorite, the Donna, but watch out, this margarita packs a boozy punch! Their hefty margs pair perfectly well with the traditional Mexican fare you can find at this Dripping Springs staple.

Taco Margarita has a whole margarita bar and they celebrate Margarita Monday's, our favorite day of the week! Sitting right off 290, this great little restaurant has some authentic Mexican food and plenty of drink choices.

Located in the heart of Dripping Springs, Texas, Homespun Kitchen and Bar is a farm-to-table style with both European and American influences. HKB's Classic Margarita is a delicious combination of Herradura Reposado tequila, grand mariner, lime juice, and orange juice.
