... but you already knew that.

With tequila, comes margaritas.

Smithsonian Magazine says we can thank Carlos "Danny" Herrera for this wonderful beverage. Legend says he created the cocktail in 1938 at his Tijuana restaurant Rancho La Gloria. The drink was developed for a customer allergic to most alcohols other than tequila.

Lucky for us all, Northern Colorado has tons of places to grab a good marg.

Celebrate Cinco De Mayo accordingly by grabbing a margarita at one of these Northern Colorado spots:
