Margarita Day!


We at Kurman have never met a margarita we haven’t loved. There’s something about the unique blend of fresh fruit, ice and our beloved tequila that sends our hearts a-flutter. While most people look forward to traditional holidays like Christmas and Halloween, our favorite holiday has always been National Margarita Day on February 22.
This year we plan on celebrating this glorious vacation-like holiday at Guanajuato (73 Green Bay Rd. in Glencoe, Ill.) not its namesake city in Mexico. Featuring more than 40 tequilas, aficionados have the choice of savoring it by the shot, in a specialty cocktail or, our personal favorite, in a delicious brimming-over-the-top margarita. Guanajuato offers classic flavors such as mango, strawberry and lime as well as specialty margaritas including their Mango and Blood Orange Margarita with a little paprika for spiciness, Acai Pomegranate Margarita, and Spicy Margarita made with jalapenos!

Other great places to celebrate include Bistro One West (1 W. Illinois St., St. Charles, Ill.). They feature a variety of margaritas including an Acai Margarita made with tequila, Veev liquor and lime juice and Agave Spice made with agave tequila, lemonade, cinnamon and a splash of lemonade served in a cinnamon sugar rimmed glass.

Or check out Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar (25 E. Ohio St., Chicago, Ill. and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Linconshire, Ill.). They will custom make the margarita(s) of your dreams!
