Hey, Reader!

February 22 may not be marked on your calendar, but it should be! Why? It's National Margarita Day!

As if we needed a day specifically for these citrus sippers. I mean, they pair perfectly with taco night, girls' night, really any night! But hey, who am I to argue? Instead, I'll mix up one of my favorites to celebrate:

blood orange margaritas

Beautifully bright with a slightly sweet twist, blood orange margaritas may just become your new favorites! Sip one while this colorful fruit is in season to get maximum flavor.

classic margaritas

It's a classic for a reason — this combo of fresh lime juice and tequila hits all the right notes. Keep DIY mix and margarita salt on-hand to make whipping up one of these tasty drinks even easier, or add blue curaçao for a colorful spin.

virgin margaritas

Need something with no booze? No problem! Virgin margaritas are packed with sweet-tart lime flavor and taste almost like the real thing. Try a sugar rim to sweeten the deal!

pineapple margaritas

This recipe gives a tropical twist to the classic recipe! It's full of summer flavors that make it the perfect sipper anytime you're craving a beach vacation — no plane ride needed.

cadillac margaritas

Take this top-shelf version of the margarita for a spin when you're in the mood for something elegant and delicious! Made with the highest quality ingredients you can find, they're the real deal for any occasion.

Want to keep the party going all weekend long? Margarita sangria is a great option for entertaining a crowd and margarita jello shots are so much fun — certainly not the jello shots from your college days.

I hope one of these recipes inspires you to try a twist on one of my favorite cocktails! As warmer weather approaches, my philosophy is that you really can't go wrong with a margarita.

¡Salud! (That's cheers in Spanish)
