Looking to step your cocktail game up? Texas Roadhouse has you covered.
Texas Roadhouse is a special place. Free peanuts, free rolls slathered with cinnamon honey butter, and huge cocktails. Not to mention they have great steaks, but that’s not what we’re here to focus on today.
The chain recently shared the recipes for five of their iconic cocktails: Armadillo Punch, Kenny’s Cooler, Jamaican Cowboy, Sangria Red, and of course, the Hurricane Margarita.
This comes just in time for you to kick your 4th of July party up a notch, and serve your guests something extra special (okay, you didn’t need Texas Roadhouse to help with that, but there’s no reason not to take advantage of their kindness now).
