National Margarita Day: Chains Roll Out Bigger Deals as Tech Notices Surface
Restaurant chains across the United States are promoting steep discounts for National Margarita Day on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026, while some operators are extending specials through Feb. 25. The wave of limited-time pricing matters now because it puts tequila-based cocktails at unusually low price points at major brands and stretches the holiday into a multi-day promotion for customers.
National Margarita Day promotions include multiple national chains
Promotions tied to National Margarita Day span a range of formats—from frozen classics to spicy twists—and are available at bars and participating restaurant locations nationwide. The material described five restaurants offering specials this year, including Chili’s, TGI Fridays, Duffy’s Sports Grill and Kona Grill; the identity of the fifth named restaurant is unclear in the provided context.
Chili’s specials and the Margarita of the Month Club
Chili’s is offering several headline deals at participating locations. The chain is pouring a $5 Tequila Classic, a $6 Margarita of the Month called the StrawEddy (made with Lunazul Blanco Tequila, Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka and strawberry puree), and a $7 Patrón Frozen Margarita prepared with Patrón Silver Tequila, triple sec and lime juice. Chili’s has also introduced a Margarita of the Month Club that customers can sign up for to track and access rotating monthly margarita offerings.
TGI Fridays’ $5 Super Fresh Margarita over the weekend
TGI Fridays is promoting a $5 Super Fresh Margarita made with Don Julio Blanco and freshly squeezed lime juice, available throughout the weekend surrounding National Margarita Day. That weekend availability extends beyond the single-day push and gives guests multiple days to take advantage of the lower price.
Duffy’s Sports Grill’s $2. 22 el Jimador all Sunday offer
Duffy’s Sports Grill is running one of the lowest-priced deals tied to the holiday, offering $2. 22 el Jimador Margaritas for dine-in guests all Sunday at participating locations. The promotion is singled out as one of the most inexpensive options on the day.
Kona Grill extends its Kona Margarita pricing through Feb. 25
Kona Grill is extending its National Margarita Day special through Feb. 25, offering its signature Kona Margarita for $6 available all day at the bar during the promotion. That extension means customers can visit after Feb. 22 and still find the discounted drink at the bar.
Cancun moment and cocktail variety
Beyond chain promotions, one vivid image tied to the holiday shows a waiter at a bustling Mexican restaurant in Cancun dancing past tables while balancing four frozen margaritas on his head. The coverage emphasized the range of margarita styles on offer—from frozen classics to spicy twists—underscoring how the cocktail is being marketed for celebration nationwide.
What makes this notable is the combination of very low price points—$2. 22, $5, $6 and $7—and brand-name tequila placements like Patrón Silver, Lunazul Blanco and Don Julio Blanco, which positions major chains to draw customers with both price and familiar spirits. The timing matters because the promotions concentrate customer traffic on Sunday, Feb. 22, while some brands intentionally extend promotions to capture weekday or weekend traffic through Feb. 25.

For consumers planning where to celebrate, the practical impact is straightforward: chains are offering defined price points and limited windows—Feb. 22 and, for some promotions, through Feb. 25—so shoppers can choose whether to attend on the peak day or take advantage of extended offers at bars and participating locations.
