Situated on the surf-friendly shores of Banderas Bay with the Sierra Madre Mountains as a backdrop, Secrets Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort is where tequila culture thrives under the sun. The adults-only retreat—part of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection—is just 50 minutes from Puerto Vallarta and delivers a high-style escape for travelers who like their cocktails with a view.

Located within the exclusive Estrella del Mar complex, just minutes from Mazatlán International Airport, Dreams Estrella del Mar Mazatlán Golf & Spa Resort brings a culinary twist to its National Tequila Day offering.
The Mazatlán-style Margarita is no ordinary cocktail. Crafted with tequila and fresh lemon juice, it’s blended with pepper, tomatillo, cucumber, and rimmed with hibiscus salt—then topped with a cooked shrimp, honoring Mazatlán’s legacy as one of the world’s leading shrimping ports.
With five bars across the property, guests can savor the cocktail beachside at Barracuda, enjoy it in the water at the swim-up Manatees bar, or sip with ocean views at the open-air Rendezvous. The resort’s private, uncrowded beach only enhances the experience—perfect for coastal cheers.
Perched in Mexico City’s trend-forward La Condesa neighborhood, the Andaz Mexico City Condesa pairs architectural heritage with cosmopolitan flair.

This National Tequila Day, the standout pour is the Zicatela, a layered cocktail that combines tequila, Aperol, peach liqueur, orange juice, agave syrup, and Shawi salt. With notes of citrus, herbal spice, and sun-soaked fruit, it’s an elegant take on a tropical sip, set against panoramic skyline views that stretch across the capital.
Located in the heart of Buckhead—Atlanta’s go-to neighborhood for designer shopping and upscale dining—the Grand Hyatt Atlanta blends contemporary amenities with thoughtful touches, including a tranquil Japanese Zen Garden and a new on-site lounge, The Fabled.
