Next is the well-known, Empellon Taqueria with a cocktail menu featuring 7 different style margaritas ranging from a Spicy Cucumber Margherita made with Pueblo Viejo Blanco, Cucumber, Jalapeño, Chile Salt to a Scotch Margarita made with Siete Leguas Reposado, Ballantine’s Scotch Whisky, Drambuie, Honey. This West Village hot spot is just one of Empellon’s 4 locations in Manhattan that have mastered the pairing of delicious tacos and tasty margaritas.
Another one is located in Midtown’s Asian-Latin restaurant, Zengo, is La Biblioteca di Tequila. Home to over 400 bottles of tequila for you to choose from. Overwhelmed? No worries, they even have a tequila sommelier to assist you in creating the perfect margarita or just try the well-recommended Zengo Margarita, a spicy-sweet blend of blood orange, fiery serrano peppers, and cooling cilantro.
Brooklyn’s got margaritas too! Outside of Manhattan, one of our favorite margarita spots in New York City, is Williamsburg’s swanky Mexican restaurant, Xixa! This last spot takes creativity to another level with their take on the classic cocktail by deconstructing it. The house specialty uses house-infused tequila poured over ice cubes made from seasonal fruit juices, spices and herbs. How cool is that?
These are just a few, but there are plenty more. Be sure to ask our New York hotel concierge teams what their favorite margarita spots in New York City are. All of us at Library Hotel Collection wish you a very happy #NationalMargaritaDay and every other day!
