There’s no doubt about it, Mondays suck, but every once in a while Mondays can prove to be the best day of the week. Take for instance this Monday, February 22nd, you may think it’s a typical day but it’s National Margarita Day!! There’s much to celebrate on this day that honors the most popular cocktail to order in a pitcher (a survey conducted by Sauza Tequila revealed margaritas are the most popular at 80%, followed by daiquiris at 53% and sangria at 49%. So put away your Monday blues and get ready for some cocktail fun. We and Sauza Tequila are here to get you started with a few delicious Margarita recipes.
