Break out the salt, limes and tequila – International Margarita Week is here, and it’s set to be a big one.

From Thursday February 20, guests can head to HSW for a range of margarita interpretations alongside Mexican-inspired food and entertainment.
How do you like your margarita? Stirred, shaken or frozen? Sweet, smoky, spicy or savoury? No matter your answer, you will find a marg to suit your taste at Howard Smith Wharves. From Thursday February 20 to Sunday March 2, the riverside precinct’s venues will be offering tequila lovers a broad range of signature interpretations to sip on, including frozen mango margaritas, tom yum margaritas and Chinese gooseberry margaritas.
