National Margarita Day: Perfect Excuse to Have a Fiesta

National Margarita Day is coming up, and that means it’s time to party! This holiday is the perfect excuse to indulge in your favorite drink, whether you prefer yours on the rocks or frozen. No matter how you like them, margaritas are always a good time.

But if you’re like most people, you might be wondering why this day isn’t called National Tequila Day instead. The answer is pretty straightforward. Tequila, the most popular liquor in Mexico, is the main ingredient in margaritas. So for this holiday, we also celebrate all things tequila — and enjoy a few frozen margaritas at the same time!

What is National Margarita Day?

National Margarita Day is a holiday that celebrates the famous Mexican drink, the margarita.

Margaritas are enjoyed all over the world, and this holiday gives people a reason to celebrate their love of this refreshing drink.

National Margarita Day falls on February 22 of each year, and coincides with the anniversary of the first time that a margarita recipe was published in an issue of Esquire Magazine in December 1953.

Common Questions About National Margarita Day

When did margaritas become popular in America?

Although margaritas have been around for centuries, they only became popular in America in the late 1970s. This is likely due to the fact that tequila became more popular at that time.

Salt is often added to margaritas to enhance the flavors of the drink. The salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the drink, and it also brings out the flavors of the tequila and lime.

What is the difference between tequila and mezcal?

Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, while mezcal can be made from any type of agave. Mezcal also has a smokier taste due to the way it is made.
