There's no place for summer drinks and fun quite like Ocean City, Maryland. The town is famous as the home of the Orange Crush, which is about as summery as it gets. But if you've just finished your day of lounging on the beach and wandering the boardwalk and you're looking to mix it up, look no further than Tequila Mockingbird. This fantastically-named cantina sports the largest tequila collection, not just in Maryland, but on the entire East Coast. Add in a menu full of authentic Mexican deliciousness and you have a recipe for one incredible evening down the ocean.

The name of this restaurant alone should be enough to catch your eye. The tongue-in-cheek reference to a classic American novel rolls right off the tongue. The giant tequila selection may as well just be a bonus.
