Think tournament energy\u2014but with tequila.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: local restaurants face off head-to-head, and you vote to decide who advances. Every five days, the bracket progresses until one restaurant earns the title of Tampa Bay\u2019s Ultimate Margarita.<\/p>\n<p>From classic lime to spicy, smoky, and fruit-forward creations, this month-long competition celebrates the creativity of our local hospitality scene.<\/p>\n<p>Voting begins March 5 and the winner of Tampa Bay\u2019s best margarita will be crowned April 2.<\/p>\n<p>Grab your margarita crew \u2014 it\u2019s time to sip, vote, and let the best margarita win.<\/p>\n<p>Cast your vote and follow the bracket at:<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/MMMadness2026\" type=\"link\"
