JIMMY'S BAR
Aspen, CO

Jimmy's is stuck in a fancy mall in Aspen. It has a great selection of tequilas and agave spirits (105 in all).
OYAMEL

Jose Andres, a chef seen frequently on Top Chef, serves up a traditional margarita but kicks it up a notch with a topping of salt-air foam.
RIVERA
Los Angeles, CA

This places sounds great...they serve tequilas ON TAP. If you take a seat in their bronze and leather chairs you can enjoy TEQUILA FLIGHTS!
PETROSSIAN BAR
Bellagio, Las Vegas
http://www.bellagio.com/
Experts say to order the classic margarita at this swank spot. These bartenders know their stuff.
NACIONAL 27
Chicago, IL

Drink master, Adam Segar makes very fresh cocktails and their margaritas are seasonally based with fresh ingredients.
LONESOME DOVE
Fort Worth, TX

You know what they say "don't mess with Texas". Located in the Stockyards District, their margaritas are just as creative as their food. So, with the elk sausage and wild boar enjoy a jalapeno cucumber margarita.
MERCADITO CANTINA
New York, NY
http://www.mercaditorestaurants.com/
This is an excellent Mexican restaurant with three locations in NY and on opening in Chicago. The wonderful margaritas range from traditional to Tres Citricos, made with orange and habanero chile. Or try the mentirosa featuring "tric tequila", a sake based blend that has a smoother finish than regular tequila.
So, if you GO THERE.....Go THERE!
Miss you already family
ENJOY!
