It looks like we’ll have to update Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s “Where to get a good mezcal cocktail in Tampa Bay” dining guide, because a bar specializing in tequila (and its smokier cousin) will soon debut in St. Pete.

Tequila Daisy will soon open out of a 3,000 square-foot space at 120 1st Ave. N in the heart of downtown St. Pete, right around the corner from Jannus Live and the St. Pete Pier.

With a whopping 500 mezcal and tequila options, this new hotspot is slated to celebrate its grand opening on Monday, July 24, coinciding with National Tequila Day. The upcoming bar promises bright and vibrant decor to match its vast collection of spirits.

Tequila Daisy will offer up to a dozen signature cocktails featuring spirits from both recognizable tequila and mezcal brands as well as  local, Tampa Bay-based distilleries. Exclusive tequila and mezcals, in addition to hard-to-find bottles will also be available for purchase alongside a spread of other expected liquors and beers.

Tequila Daisy has previewed a few of its craft cocktails on its social media pages, like the “Boca de Fuego,” complete with jalapeño-infused tequila, mango puree and garnished with a flaming tequila-filled jalapeño.

Although its grand opening is slated for July 24, co-owners of Tequila Daisy—Monique Grespan and Melissa Powell—state that a soft opening will take place before then.

In addition to Grespan and Powell, other partners include Michael Jennings, Miles Duncan, Jerrad Atkin and Billy Orfanakos—folks associated with other downtown bars like Pour Judgement and Whiskey Exchange, according to ILovetheBurg.

For the latest information on Tequila Daisy and its upcoming grand opening, head to its Facebook page or Instagram at @tequiladaisystpete.

When Tequila Daisy opens its doors next month, it will join other downtown St. Pete hotspots like Copper Shaker, Thirsty First, Social Roost and Mandarin Hide.
