Saturday, Feb. 22, is National Margarita Day, and so we at the Weekly wanted to make sure you knew of the best spots in town to enjoy one of these classic cocktails. Hard job, we know!
A classic margarita is tequila, orange liqueur (triple sec) and lime juice. You can serve it with a salt or sugar rim. Traditionally served in a margarita glass, it can be shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice, frozen margarita, or without ice (straight up).
While different liqueurs, fruits, juices and ingredients modernize the recipe, the classic margarita will never go out of style. It’s the most popular tequila-based cocktail in the United States, and we hope you find a way to enjoy one of these juicy concoctions on Saturday!
