National Tequila Day is Wednesday, July 24, and your favorite restaurants will have deals featuring the fermented blue agave spirit from Mexico. Tequila is a region-specific type of mezcal that only uses the blue agave.

Other agaves can also be distilled into mezcal, but none have achieved the notoriety and fame of tequila.

Adding a drink to a restaurant order can quickly raise the total, so those looking to stretch their restaurant budget often skip the drinks to save money — but on Wednesday, it won't break the bank to add a treat onto the bill. See which restaurants have the best deals on drinks to celebrate.

Bottom line

Wednesdays have always been a good day to grab a drink after work with friends to help overcome the mid-week hump, but this week the deals are even better for those who love good tequila. Raise your glass, toast the good things in life, and enjoy savings on top-shelf shots or fruity frozen drinks with tequila as a main ingredient.

Enjoying an occasional adult beverage can quickly raise the cost of dining out to eat, and many are looking to find ways to save money at restaurants so they can continue to enjoy an alcoholic treat with their meals. Finding drink specials and deals can help stretch your restaurant budget without sacrificing the frills that enhance the experience of dining in a restaurant.

Don't forget to check your favorite local restaurants for National Tequila Day celebrations, as many smaller independent restaurants offer great specials that are only advertised on social media.
