Nothing beats the summer heat quite like a margarita.
Attendees at the Fort Worth Margarita Festival certainly knew that. The June 22 event featured some of the best margaritas the city has to offer.
Attendees had many margaritas to try. A punch card allowed them to sample each of the 10 margaritas once. They made their way around multiple booths sipping samples of margaritas in shot-sized cups.
After trying various margaritas, attendees were able to purchase a full serving of their favorite.

Vendors aimed to be named “Best Margarita” and win a $1,000 prize. Attendees who bought a sampling admission ticket were given a singular voting chip which they were to leave at their favorite booth after sampling all 10 margaritas.
This year’s winner was Kung Fu Saloon, a Texas-based bar chain with a Fort Worth location at 2818 Morton St. The bar offers vintage arcade games and a pub-style menu along with a full bar.
