For the best frozen margarita recipe in Manchester, it has to be Be At One. With classic, strawberry and mango flavours to choose between, this laid-back joint is a no-brainer. Better yet, there's a classic Tommy's on the menu too if you want something more traditional.
Vowing for the top spot of best margarita in Manchester? Foundry Project's El Jimador blanco tequila, orange liqueur and lime muddle doesn't stray far from the traditional recipe, meaning it's a great choice when you've got a hankering for the real deal.
While best known for its namesake tipple, the mango marg at Dirty Martini isn't to be passed up either. When only the fruitiest riff on your fav cocktail will do, this place has it and the Instagrammable space to match. Plus their tequila and marg masterclass is unmissable.
Fronting two different margs, Arcane is the cocktail hotspot that certainly won't leave you disappointed when sipping on your favourite concoction. Better yet, their signature menu boasts a further tequila and mezcal mix, with green chartreuse, lime, cucumber and chile de arbol to boot, if you want to try something a little different.
Enjoy this tantalising classic cocktail in the heart of Cuba... well, Deansgate. Premium tequila and Cointreau are fiercely shaken up with lime juice and sugar to get the party started at Revolucion. Visit during happy hour to team with tasty tapas, or knock them back for the perfect pre-drinks.
Looking for a stylish space to enjoy your margaritas in? Then head to Side Street in Spinningfields, tucked inside the iconic ABC Building. Expect checkered tiled floors, lots of pretty plants and comfy velvet sofas to sink into, all with a cracking cocktail in hand.
They offer both classic and spicy margaritas, as well as all sorts of other concoctions. And if you're feeling peckish, you can devour everything from macaroni cheese to rotisserie chicken or squash salad.
Sandinista is home to a number of tequila-inspired mixes that are sure to add a dash of South American flair to your next night out. Get your hands on frozen margaritas in a number of fruity and tropical flavours, with other tipples available too when you're looking to keep it classic.
The best spicy margarita recipe in Manchester? The Counter House is vowing for that top spot with their chilli number, which is laced with hot liqueur. Settle down across this foliage-packed space to give it a try.
This Northern Quarter party palace is one of the best places for margaritas in Manchester. When you're not dancing to live tunes or chugging craft beers in this rock 'n' roll den, taste your way through a tequila concoction created by charming bartenders.
Searching for the best menu chock full of margs? Grab an exceptional mix in this grotto of Mexican deliciousness, where Olmeca Altos Blanco, watermelon, lime and shebert are shaken over ice and completed by a salt-rubbed rim. If you're keeping it classic, there's a traditional tipple for that too.
The tastiest frozen versions? Crazy Pedro's is calling your name. Whipping up all sorts of agave-infused creations, this pizza parlour is doing far more than just slices. Choose between the mezcal margs and Tommy's classic mix, or sip on icy ones flavoured like woo woo, twista, pornstar and more.
From burgers and bottomless brunches to a drinks list that includes the thirst-quenching margarita rosada, The Pen & Pencil has you sorted. Wrap your lips around this perfectly balanced drink that mixes tequila with Gabriel Boudier passionfriuit, cranberry and lime.
Altrincham's The Con Club is already bound to impress with its hidden rooftop tipi and contemporary interiors, but how about the all-important marg? El Jimador tequila, Cointreau, lime and sweet gomme make this muddle typical of the classic cocktail.
