This National Tequila Day (July 24th), let us reflect on everyone and everything that’s made it possible for America to raise a glass of Mexico’s finest.

Having a beer or 12 and passing out in a kiddie pool squeezed onto your fire escape doesn’t have quite the same appeal as sipping an umbrella cocktail in a coconut at one of these awesomely rickety, remote, water-locked watering holes. The Rock Restaurant — Indian Ocean Zanzibar, Tanzania Situated on a rock that was once a fisherman’s post, The Rock Restaurant’s specialty seafood’s so fresh it might as well’ve flopped onto your plate — and even better when paired with any one of their many local brews.
