$5 Chili’s Patron Margaritas Are Here for One Month Only

We’ll be the first to admit that January doesn’t scream margarita weather. But Chili’s Patron margaritas are only $5 for the whole month.

The restaurant known for its baby back ribs and the secret Boss Burger is kicking off the New Year with a drinks deal that almost sounds too good to be true.

This Is Margarita Madness!

Technically called The Cheers to Patron ‘Rita!, this refreshing cocktail of the month contains premium Patron Silver Tequila, triple sec and fresh sour, all with a sugar-citrus rim. Margarita drinkers know that Patron is a major upgrade, so five bucks for a entire drink is a tempting bargain.

Chili’s announced its summer vibes promo on Instagram:

Of course, you can always learn to make margaritas at home. And if you’ve ever wanted to make the Chicken Enchilada Soup from Chili’s, check out our restaurant copycat recipes that are better than the real deal.

How Do I Score the Drink of the Month?

Just head to your nearest Chili’s. Be aware that this Margarita of the Month is one and done, though. The Patron margaritas are the January special, so order one soon before it disappears from menu boards! Luckily, if you miss this month’s special, there always another one next month. (We bet Chili’s is doing something special for Valentine’s Day.)

The $5 drinks special might be limited to one month, but the restaurant does promise that it will be available all day long.
