Pickle juice, hot honey and rhubarb: Margarita Month takes a playful turn at Wahaca

Margarita Month 2026 sees Wahaca celebrating one of Mexico’s most iconic drinks at its restaurants across the UK, with the launch of two limited-edition Margaritas – each of them specially created to put a playful, flavour-forward twist on the classic cocktail.

Available throughout the month and until 24th March, the new additions showcase both umami heat and seasonal sweetness. The Hot Honey & Pickle Margarita (£10.95) is a punchy, savoury-sweet combination made with Dr Sting’s hot honey – created by best-selling food writer Ben Lippett – shaken with pickle juice, Gran Centenario tequila, jalapeño and fresh lime. Served on the rocks with a Tajín and gherkin garnish, it’s bold, briny and unapologetically moreish.

Taking things in a sweeter direction and with rhubarb season well underway, the Rhubarbarita (£9.95) combines newly-harvested produce with a nostalgic twist. Yorkshire rhubarb is freshly juiced, shaken with Gran Centenario tequila and served in a glass dusted with crushed Rhubarb & Custard sweets, delivering a sharp yet smooth cocktail with a perfectly playful finish.

Alongside the new Margaritas, guests can also take part in ‘Roll A Lime’, a light-hearted in-restaurant game running throughout Margarita Month. Simply ask your server to roll a lime and you’ll be presented with a special green dice. If it lands on the lime symbol when rolled, the entire table is treated to a round of Margaritas on the house – choosing from classic, picante or non-alcoholic options – for up to six adult guests.

Wahaca’s co-founder Mark Selby, said: “Margaritas are one of the most marvellously Mexican drinks there are – vibrant, sociable and endlessly adaptable. Our classic Margaritas remain at the heart of our drinks menu but Margarita Month gives us the chance to have some fun with flavour, champion quality ingredients and celebrate a cocktail that’s always at the focal point of good times around the table.”
