In Texas of course Margarita's are always a hit, served on the rocks, frozen, or shaken and not stirred and can be served up in a Martini glass, shot glass, or even a large stemmed glass with strawberries or fruit garnishes. Appetizers at the bar before dinner are always a hit with big crowds, and specialty tidbits mean bringing friends for dinner.
