You taste. You sample. You play judge and vote for your favorite margarita. The best margaritas from the DFW area will be at one location. A Dippin Dot Margarita, from Pie 314 in Lewisville, won last year. Asador, Soleo, Whiskey Cake and Iron Cactus won previous years. You decide which margarita is the best at the Dallas Margarita Meltdown presented by Milagro Silver.
