There’s 350 days of sunshine a year in Palm Springs. Or something like that.  I don’t know about you, but sunshine gets me in the mood to party, so I’m suggesting a few spots to down some of the valley’s strongest margaritas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Original Las Casuelas

Watermelon margaritas are definitely the way to go. They’re fruity, sugary and serve as the perfect way to cool off when the mercury breaks 100 degrees. Plus, they’re a pretty pink color and the Las Casuelas patio is always a great spot for people watching.

One and you’re done. Seriously, please eat something while downing one of Armando’s jet-fuel powered cocktails or you’ll be begging your friends to carry you home.

There's a huge variety of fruit-flavored margaritas. I love a modern twist to a traditional favorite. Oh, and the food is pretty good, too.

A margarita at La Casita is your no nonsense, traditional, straightforward tequila favorite. Throw some salt on the rim of the glass and you're equipped for relaxation in its purest form. I dare you to come up with a better drink great compliment to your chimichanga. It can’t be done.

The blended margaritas here are served in glasses big enough for a beta fish to inhabit.

Piero's 'ritas are made with the very best tequila and happy hour is every day from noon to close. Save some cash and keep drinkin'!
