are to be had in the lobby bar of the Congress Hotel in Tucson, Arizona.

Gabriel's Restaurant, just north of Santa Fe, also has an exceptionally good specialty margarita. I just went to their website and alas, the menu posted doesn't give the margaritas.

I think it would be giant fun to organize a margarita sampling tour of Arizona and New Mexico. We'd need a designated driver, of course, but as a week-long vacation it could be lots of fun. Heck, even a couple of days would work. If going to Tucson, I'd include a side trip down to Nogales, Sonora, across the border into Mexico for some margaritas there. Also to buy tequila that can't be gotten here in the States.
