When the summer heat is blasting, one thing always sounds deliciously refreshing: A margarita.

Lubbock is home to a variety of great spots that serve cocktails of all kinds, but there is something so special about a great margarita. There is an art to making the perfect marg, and not everyone gets it right.

A good marg has to have the right balance of tart, sweet, and strong to really be memorable.

You don’t want it to be too sweet, you can’t be lazy with the tequila, and fresh limes are a must. None of that pre-mixed, thick, syrupy nonsense. Whether you prefer salt or sugar on the rim is up to you (although I'm a salt girl), the cocktail itself has to be just right. Once a place has perfected a classic marg, then they can explore different flavors.

I do enjoy a good fruity marg with strawberries or watermelon, and I love one with a little bit of a kick from jalapeños or a Tajin rim.

However you like your marg, there are a great variety of options around the Hub City to satisfy your cravings. Some folks on Reddit took it upon themselves to list out their favorite places to get a margarita in Lubbock, and I summarized it for you below. Despite the site’s questionable reputation, some threads can be highly informative.

Keep on scrolling to take a look at what places Lubbock locals believe are the best to get a delicious and refreshing margarita.
