Cucumber jalapeño margarita

Price: $10
Get it here: Paco’s Tacos & Tequila
Get it when: You’re surrounded by food people with sophisticated palates who taste things other than “heavy notes of tequila” and need to say something moderately insightful like, “Mm yes, the crisp coolness of this cucumber really cuts the Scoville heat of the jalapeño. Perfectly balanced. Exquisite. Six more, please.”

Azula Rita

Beer-rita

Get it here: 1900 Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar
