Drink this: Cazadores Reposado tequila sampler, a 100% blue agave blend aged in a white oak cask.
- Denver International Airport, Denver, Colorado – While Denver is known as a beer town (and even has its own airport brewery), there are also a few cocktail spots to keep you entertained before heading to your gate. We picked Denver's Que Bueno!, an affordable quick-serve pit stop with freshly made burritos and tasty margaritas.

Drink this: Sip on the Fresh Jalapeno Margarita for a spicy twist on a classic.
