Horni-tos

Blue Horizon

Prickly Pear

An unexpected trip to Galveston on New Year’s Eve leads us to a front row view of the gulf and a flight of margaritas.  When reviewing margaritas, we try several and a flight of margaritas gives us the opportunity to try flavors we might have passed on when ordering a full size drink.
The patio offers a better view of the water, but the birds make it difficult to enjoy a drink, let alone a meal.  We sat inside next to the window for dinner and several margaritas.  It was New Year’s and we had a designated driver 😉
 
We were in a mood to be happy and relaxed.  Good opportunity for a good margarita.  What did we find?
       Margaritaville Rita            3.5 margarita glasses
       Perfect Patron                     2 margarita glasses
       Jalap-eño Business Rita    3 margarita glasses
       Horni-tos                      3 margarita glasses
       Blue Horizon                 3.5 margarita glasses
       Prickly Pear                   4 margarita glasses
Mid-Flight Trio
We were surprised to see the house margarita – the Margaritaville Rita – rate better than the Perfect Patron.  The Prickly Pear was definitely the best of those tried this evening. 
 
Overall, Tortuga’s is good for Tex-Mex and a view.

The hunt continues…..
