14 Glasgow bars to order a cocktail for International Margarita Day

It’s International Margarita Day today (22 February) and Glasgow’s boldest and best bars including The Gate, West Side Tavern and Dockyard Social, will be raising a glass to celebrate by offering handcrafted ‘botanas’ - traditional Mexican small plates of exclusive Margarita serves curated with Patrón Silver, and special Margarita menus, across the city.
