Inspired by the unforgettable midnight margaritas scene that made the original Practical Magic film a cult classic, Florida is serving up its own enchanting take on the cocktail. With Practical Magic 2 bringing the Owens family's magic back to the big screen, the Sunshine State is casting a spell on the classic drink. From smoky and savoury creations to sweet, spicy and even soft-serve margaritas, some margaritas are well worth staying up for.
Here's a round-up of some of Florida's most unusual margaritas.
Bacon Mezcal Margarita - Lure Fishbar, Miami Beach
A smoky, savoury twist served in the heart of Miami Beach. After sipping one, visitors can explore the Art Deco architecture and palm-lined streets of South Beach, relax on the famous sandy beach or make an evening of it at the city's renowned restaurants and bars.
Avocado Margarita - La Cava del Tequila, EPCOT
Found inside EPCOT, one of Walt Disney World Resort's four theme parks, this surprisingly creamy take combines avocado, tequila, agave, lime and orange or melon liqueur. Served in the Mexico Pavilion, it's an ideal stop while exploring EPCOT's World Showcase, where visitors can experience the sights, flavours and cultures of 11 countries in one park.
Soft Serve Margarita - Nueva Cantina, Tampa Bay, St Petersburg, Brandon and Palm Harbor
Available across Tampa, St Petersburg, Brandon and Palm Harbor, this playful margarita is transformed into soft serve. It also offers a great excuse to explore Florida's Gulf Coast, from Tampa's thriving food and cultural scene to St Petersburg's museums, waterfront and nearby award-winning beaches.
Endless Summer Margarita - George Bistro & Bar, Pensacola
Made with coconut-infused tequila, blueberry, toasted coconut agave, cayenne and lime, this is essentially the Emerald Coast in a glass. Pensacola combines sugar-white beaches and emerald-green waters with a historic downtown, lively food scene and laid-back coastal atmosphere.
