The History of National Margarita Day
While the exact origin of the margarita is debated, most stories trace it back to the 1930s and 1940s in Mexico. Bartenders would experiment with tequila, lime, and triple sec to create a cocktail that is both refreshing and bold. Some say the drink was created for socialites and showgirls who wanted a drink that was sweeter and easier to drink than straight tequila!
Since then, the margarita has become a beloved cocktail worldwide. From classic lime to creative frozen blends, there’s a margarita variety for everyone. National Margarita Day gives everyone the perfect excuse to raise a glass, gather friends, and celebrate at the Rio!
