Texas runs on margaritas during happy hour. Deals range from $4 house margs to $8 top-shelf versions, with the gap between regular and happy hour pricing often hitting $4-6.

House margaritas use well tequila and cost the least. Premium margs made with Casamigos, Patron, or similar run $7-10 during happy hour, down from $14-18. Pitcher deals bring the per-drink cost even lower for groups. Frozen machines run year-round in Texas. Mango, strawberry, spicy, and traditional lime all make the menu. Spirit quality matters more than price. A $6 marg made with real lime juice and decent tequila beats a $4 marg mixed from sour mix.
