Not that you need a reason to enjoy a margarita, but this Saturday, February 22, is recognized as National Margarita Day.
According to legend, a socialite named Margarita Sames created the first margarita in 1948 at her hacienda in Acapulco, Mexico. She mixed together tequila, Cointreau and fresh lime juice, which today remains the basic recipe for a margarita.
