Soft-Serve Margaritas Might Be the Next Big Thing in Texas

If you thought frozen margaritas were already the perfect way to cool off in Texas, a new twist on the classic drink might be about to take things to the next level.

Enter the soft-serve margarita! No, not a frozen margarita, a soft-serve margarita! It’s exactly what it sounds like: a frozen margarita that comes out of a machine with the smooth texture of soft-serve ice cream. And now, it’s catching the attention of foodies across the country, including here in Texas!

Now, a Houston restaurant may be getting ready to bring the trend to the Lone Star State.
