Best Margarita

Lime the rim and take your pick - salt or sugar, we won’t judge! Cancun Mexican Restaurant (multiple locations) raises the bar in first place with margaritas that strike that perfect balance between spirited and smooth. Casa Margarita (locations in Eau Claire and Bloomer) shakes up second place with creative takes on their namesake cocktail. Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Cafe (1444 Front Porch Place, Altoona) brings a fiery finish to third with its Spicy Margarita, which proves sometimes a little heat is all you need. —Jen Ekblad
