National Margarita Day

A margarita is a popular cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec or another orange-flavored liqueur. It is typically served in a salt-rimmed glass, and can be served on the rocks or blended with ice. The origins of the margarita are uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in Mexico in the 1930s or 1940s. It has since become a popular cocktail around the world, with many variations and twists on the classic recipe. To make a classic margarita, you will need: - 2 oz. tequila - 1 oz. lime juice - 1 oz. triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur - Salt (for rimming the glass) - Lime wedges (for garnish) To make the cocktail, begin by rimming a glass with salt. Then, fill a shaker with ice and add the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Shake well and strain into the salt-rimmed glass over ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve. Margaritas can also be customized with different flavors, such as strawberry, mango, or pineapple, and can be made with different types of tequila for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
