Mark your calendars, folks! February 22nd, 2025, is just around the corner, and you know what that means - it's time to raise a glass (or two, or three...) to the most iconic cocktail of them all - the Margarita! On National Margarita Day, we're talking Tequila, lime juice, and salt, baby!

So, where did this fabulous holiday come from, you ask? Well, the origins of the Margarita are shrouded in mystery, but one popular story dates back to 1948, when a clever bartender named Carlos "Danny" Herrera created the drink for a customer named Marjorie King at his Tijuana-based restaurant, Rancho La Gloria. It quickly became a hit, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Fast-forward to the present, and National Margarita Day has become a beloved tradition, celebrated by bars, restaurants, and margarita enthusiasts worldwide. It's a day to gather with friends, family, and coworkers, and let the good times roll! So, how do people typically celebrate this joyous occasion? Well, it's pretty simple, really:

• Host a Margarita party! Invite your squad over, and get creative with your margarita recipes - classics, flavored, frozen, you name it!

Traditionally, margaritas are served in a salt-rimmed glass, which is believed to have originated from the Mexican tradition of sipping tequila with a pinch of salt and a slice of lime. These days, you'll find margaritas in all shapes, sizes, and flavors, from classic to fruit-infused, and even frozen! Some popular variations include:

• The Tommy's Margarita: Made with tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar, this variation is a sweet and tangy twist on the original.
• The Jalapeño Margarita: Spice things up with this bold and zesty take on the classic, featuring jalapeño peppers and a splash of lime juice.
• The Mango Margarita: Blend tequila with mango puree, lime juice, and agave nectar for a sweet and refreshing summer treat.
