National Margarita Day Is Sunday: These Hudson County Restaurant Serve Them With A Twist

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — For those who like their cocktails sweet, fruity, and with a hint of salt, National Margarita Day this coming Sunday is a good reason to celebrate (even if the snow forces you to wait a few days to eat out).

The tequila-based cocktail is normally served with tequila, triple sec, and lime or lemon juice. Some connoisseurs enjoy them frozen, others on the rocks. And there are restaurants in Hudson County that boast dozens of flavored margs.

Should you want to try a unique spin, here are a few places to go in the future:

Blu on the Hudson — Located on the Weehakwen waterfront (and reachable by ferry from Manhattan), Blu offers a wasabi margarita with Patrón Silver, triple sec, passionfruit, wasabi, and fresh lime. They'll also serve up their Bamboo Panda, with Lalo Tequila, kaffir lime–infused elderflower liqueur, coffee-infused Montenegro amaro, demerara sugar, and lemon. And, they say, "For purists, the time-tested classic margarita is available upon request." Find out more here.

The LOLA — The newly revamped LOLA waterfront restaurant and lounge on the Hoboken waterfront is known for its exquisite cocktails. With chef Brandon "Bud" Carter now at the helm, they boast several tequila-based beverages, including the Golden Mirage, with Reposado tequila, mezcal tequila, pineapple, lime, and spiced agave. "LOLA" stands for Living Out Life's Adventures. Find out more about them here.

Meximodo Restaurant and Tequila Bar — Meximodo, which opened in October in Jersey City, is an obvious choice. The two-story downtown location has an extensive menu of Mexican dishes and cocktails. Like the other two suggestions, it's walkable from the Hudson River waterfront. Read more about it here.
