Today, February 22, is national Margarita Day. Yes, that is a real thing. It is a chance to appreciate and celebrate the tequila-based cocktail. The margarita is made with tequila, orange-flavored liquer (triple sec) and lime juice, usually served in a glass with a salted rim. In can be served frozen, on the rocks or straight-up.
This may sound like just another excuse to party, but who are we to complain? Here are some suggestions on where to celebrate.
