National Margarita Day History

National Margarita Day seeks to appreciate the tequila-based alcoholic cocktail. A margarita is a cocktail made of tequila, triple sec, and either lime or lemon juice served in a glass with salt on the rim. The origin of the margarita is unclear as many bartenders around the world have laid claim to the drink's creation. Several bartenders and restaurant owners in Mexico allege to have created the drink for a female friend with a name similar to Margarita. Given that the cocktail contains tequila, the drink may have originated somewhere in Mexico.

National Margarita Day is believed to have emerged in the 1990s. It is observed annually on February 22nd.
