Chipotle phased out its margarita from the regular menu by 2020, and fans never stopped asking for it back. Six years later, the chain is answering — sort of. The “Summon the Spirits Tour“ brings the drink to five cities across five weekends, running Fridays and Saturdays through Halloween. One designated Chipotle location per city. One drink per guest. Six dollars. This is not a menu relaunch. It’s a food pilgrimage dressed in Halloween décor — much like disappeared but you still crave them moments that define cult menu nostalgia.
Where the Tour Stops — and When
Chipotle opens the tour in Denver, where the chain was founded in 1993 — a homecoming with a cocktail shaker.
From there, the tour heads east, then south, then west, ending in New Orleans on Halloween weekend. All stops run 3–9 p.m. local time on their listed Friday and Saturday.
| City | Dates | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Denver | Oct. 2–3 | 2760 S. Colorado Blvd. |
| Brooklyn, NY | Oct. 9–10 | 185 Montague St. |
| Dallas | Oct. 16–17 | 2401 Victory Park Lane |
| Los Angeles | Oct. 23–24 | 7660 W. Sunset Blvd. |
| New Orleans | Oct. 30–31 | 2801 Magazine St. |
What You’re Actually Getting
Five ingredients, one wristband, and a Halloween pop-up that bears little resemblance to a standard Chipotle visit.
The drink is straightforward, made with:
- premium tequila
- triple sec
- citrus juice
- agave nectar
- a fresh lime wedge
According to Food Network, the recipe reportedly dates to 1993 and was reformulated to this five-ingredient version around 2013 — though the current formulation may not be identical to the original. At $6, it’s a notably approachable price for a craft-style margarita at a pop-up event.
Guests 21 and older show ID, receive a wristband and drink ticket, then pay at entry or at the bar, depending on the location.
The experience around that drink is deliberately more than a transaction. Each stop features dedicated margarita bars, Halloween-themed décor, interactive activities, and chances to win Chipotle prizes. Think less burrito assembly line, more neighborhood pop-up that happens to share a zip code with a fast-casual restaurant.
Stephanie Perdue, Chipotle’s senior vice president of brand marketing, described Halloween as the right moment to revive the drink and the tour as an opportunity for fans to rediscover the classic margarita. The five-city, limited-supply structure makes clear this is a calculated nostalgia play — the company’s announcement does not signal any broader nationwide return.
Don’t Expect It at Your Local Chipotle
If your city isn’t on the list, the official tour page at chipotle.com/summon-spirits-tour is the only place to confirm what’s available before making any travel plans.
Supplies are limited even within tour cities, and availability is capped at one drink per guest while those supplies last. Chipotle’s announcement does not indicate that the margarita will appear at any favorite chains location outside the five designated event locations. The drink disappears when it’s gone — plan accordingly.
