Happy National Margarita Day!

Happy National Margarita Day!
Today, is also George Washington’s birthday (February, 22, 1732) but he never got to enjoy a Margarita. The Margarita was created by an American named Margaret “Margarita” Sames while on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico over Christmas in 1948. The original was made with Cointreau, not Triple Sec. So the next time you have a Margarita, request for Cointreau!
Let’s toast to our first President of the US and Margarita Day by having one of these!

Original Margarita Recipe:
3 - parts good tequila
2 - parts Cointreau
1 - part lime juice
Ice
Kosher salt
Lime wedge
1. Mix the ingredients over ice by shaking or stirring.
2. Pour into a rock glass rimmed with kosher salt (rub lime wedge on glass rim).
3. Garnish with a lime wedge.
4. Enjoy!

Cheers!
