February 22 is National Margarita Day

Given the year we’ve just had, I’m sure those of you who imbibe will appreciate that February 22 is 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.
