The best Margarita's (the cocktail not the pizza), London.

Fellow Margarita cocktail lovers! If you're like me and can't resist a good Margarita, then you know the struggle of finding the perfect spot to satisfy your craving (sorry Soho House your pre-made Picante doesn’t cut it anymore!). Luckily, I've done the hard work for you and scoured the streets of London to find the best tasting ones.

Whether you're a classic Tommy’s Margarita purist or love to mix things up with unique flavours and twists, I’ve got you!
Sit back, grab a lime wedge, and let's dive into the delicious world of Margaritas in London.

Side hustle bar, nomad hotel, Covent Garden

You’re in safe hands here, this intimate cocktail bar know exactly what they’re doing with your tastebuds! More on the spenny side - but worth every penny - perfect for a special occasion!
I usually go for the:
’Sergeant Pepper - Avua Prta Cachaça, Altos Blanco Tequila, green pepper, coriander, jalapeño, pineapple, lemon’
’Pink Elephant - Don Julio Blance Tequila, Aperol, lemon, charry heering, orgeat, passion fruit, bird’s eye chilli’

Strakers, Notting Hill

I only visited here this month but was floored by the food and cocktails. I’d highly recc a visit if you can get a reservation!
I started with a ‘Spicy Margarita - Casamigos tequila, lime, triple sec’
and then ended with a ‘Super Lemon Tommy’s - Casamigos tequila, charcoal lemon, agave’

Temper, Shoreditch, City, Covent garden, soho

The cocktails just seem to get better and better at Temper. On a hot summers day their ‘Lychilli Margarita - Olmeca tequila, lychee juice, drop of Tabasco’ is my go-to but the ‘Pepino Picante - Verde mezcal, Empirical Ayuuk, apple agave, lime, cucumber, Tabasco’ has a special place in my heart. My record is 4 Pepinos in one night! (sssh)

‘The rooftop’ bar, 100 shoreditch

Lush interiors, views of shoreditch, a big bowl of olives and a classic ‘Spicy Margarita - Patrón Silver Infused with Jalapeño, Agave Syrup, Lime’ - you honestly can’t go wrong!

Bubala, Soho & Shoredicth

I can tell that each cocktail is made with love at Bubala. Their ‘Bubie’s Spicy Margarita - Mezcal, cointreau, cascabel chilli syrup, lime, chilli & persian lime salt rim’ is a firm favourite for me and most of my friends too!

crispin e1, Liverpool st

'Orange Wine Mezcal Margarita - Amores Verde mezcal, orange wine, bergamot’.
I love orange wine and I love a margarita but didn’t know what to think about both together - but - I gave it a go and honestly loved it. If there’s anyone who’s going to do this well it’s Crispin. It’s a yes from me!

Blacklines, Spicy Margarita is bottled and just needs to be poured over ice. You’re welcome.
