Margarita enthusiasts worldwide have a day to indulge in the tasty cocktail and not feel guilty about it, thanks to Todd McCalla.
National Margarita Day, an unofficial holiday that occurs every Feb. 22, was created by the former real estate agent over a decade ago to showcase his love for the alcoholic beverage. In a past interview with the online magazine Mic, McCalla disclosed that he impulsively created the website on that day, which includes a variety of margarita recipes, because of his frustrations with the “low-quality mixes” he was receiving. A classic margarita mix can vary, but the common ingredients include lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur.
Since then, everyone, including restaurants, has been participating in the festivities. This article will provide the ten places to receive the best discounts in honor of the special day and how long the deals will last.
