Miami’s guide to National Margarita Day

If you’re a local and your first or last name is Gili, you’ll might be able to enjoy a free watermelon margarita at Gili’s Beach Club. If you aren’t fortunate enough to boast the namesake, you can still sip on watermelon margaritas, made from scratch using a blend of Patrón Añejo, watermelon, freshly-squeezed lime, and sweet or salted rim (regularly priced at $12).

Celebrate National Margarita Day at LIME Fresh Mexican Grill, where you can enjoy frozen margaritas all day long at all locations in South Florida.
