Margaritas symbolize good times, sunny days, and positive vibes, and the sweet and tangy, yet elusive and hard-to-recreate flavors of the jumbo frozen margaritas of Mexican restaurants have been missed.
Fortunately, Gov. DeWine has given restaurants the go-ahead to sell mixed drinks to-go, and we think that margs are the perfect cocktail to celebrate the occasion.Â
Here are five local favorites to help you forget about how weird the “normal normal” can be.Â
Please remember— you must purchase food to receive a mixed drink.
