Chili's Grill & Bar serves more margaritas than any other restaurant brand in the United States—over 25 million were sold in 2024 alone—and to keep the options fresh and inspiring for customers, Chili's is introducing three new premium frozen margaritas. Each new frozen margarita in this trio doubles down on quality ingredients and popular flavors. The PATRÓN Frozen Marg (made with PATRÓN Silver, triple sec, lime juice and agave) is a smooth, classic choice that can be enhanced with strawberry, mango, watermelon, blackberry, dragonfruit, or even spicy flavors for those who can handle the heat.
Flamingo Freeze is prepared by shaking Tito's Handmade Vodka with Owen's Prickly Pear, then swirling it with the PATRÓN Frozen Marg. Similarly, Arctic Drift is swirled with the PATRÓN Frozen Marg after combining Malibu Coconut Rum, pineapple juice and Blue Curaçao.
