Margarita Mile Is Back — And This Year, the Grand Prize Is a Trip to Mexico

Margarita Mile Is Back — And This Year, the Grand Prize Is a Trip to Mexico

Last February, Hong Kong turned Hollywood Road into one long margarita crawl — and the drinks industry noticed. Margarita Mile HK took home Best Event of the Year at The Spirits Business Awards 2025, and now it's returning for round two, bigger than before. 

From September 1 to 16, ten of the city's favourite bars will once again pour exclusive El Tequileño cocktails for Margarita Mile 2026 — and this time, the top prize is a flight away from Hong Kong altogether: a trip for two to Tequila, Mexico, the birthplace of the spirit itself. 

The Line-Up: 10 Bars, 16 Days 

This year's Mile runs through ten of Hong Kong's best-loved cocktail spot

Each one will be serving exclusive El Tequileño margaritas and cocktails for the full run, so there's no wrong place to start your crawl. 

How to Play

  2. Collect stamps. Order any El Tequileño margarita or cocktail and ask your bartender to stamp your passport — one drink, one stamp.
