Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, and in true Miami style, we’re starting the party a little early. This Saturday, April 28, Magic City tequila lovers (so basically, all of us) can get excited for a new kind of night out in the 305: a Margarita Rumble.
Presented by Don Julio Tequila, this famous competition has already made its mark worldwide, having been hosted in cities like London, San Francisco, and New York. This year, it will expand even further with a Margarita Rumble in four cities on the same day as the South Florida event: New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.
Showcasing 15 of the best restaurants and bars in Miami—like R House {2727 NW 2 Avenue, Wynwood; 305.576.0201} and Tacology {701 South Miami Avenue, Brickell; 786.347.5368}, for example—mixologists from each restaurant will whip up their own Don Julio margarita recipe and get the chance to claim the title of having the “Best Margarita in Miami.” As an added bonus, those Miamians who come to check out the event will not only get to try every cocktail made; they’ll get to help decide the winner, too!
To make sure no one gets hungry or bored, top Miami food vendors, like DOUGH Miami and its famous edible cookie dough, will be onsite, and DJ Hans will keep the tunes going all afternoon. With a day of food, drink, and fun like this, this inaugural event is sure to be a hit amongst Miami drinkers. The best part? They’ll get to find out where to find the best margarita just in time for Cinco de Mayo.
This event will take place in the heart of Wynwood at MAPS Backlot, which is located at 342 NW 24 Street. Tickets start at $45+ per person and can be purchased here. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the USBG National Charity Foundation, which seeks to advance the health and well-being of service professionals nationwide. You must be 21+ to attend.
Happy dining!
