With National Drink Wine Day past us, there is another special holiday to get kind of excited about: National Margarita Day, happening Saturday (Feb. 22)!
According to a recent survey done by the Experiential Agency, who respresents Milagro Tequila, 91 percent of people prefer their margarita fresh rather than using a pre-packaged mix. And at least two-thirds of people preferred salt on the rim over sugar, as well as Silver tequila over Reposado.
So, after you’ve gotten everything done off your Saturday to-do list, here is a look at three delicious margarita recipes you can make at home:
The Milagro Freshest Margarita
- 2 parts Milagro Silver Tequila
- ¾ part Agave Nectar
- 1 part Fresh Lime Juice
Pour all ingredients in a Boston Shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.
The Veracruzana Pineapple Margarita
- 2 parts Milagro Reposado Tequila
- ¾ part Agave Nectar
- 1 part Fresh Lime Juice
- 4 Pineapple Chunks
- 2 Basil Leaves
Muddle pineapple and basil leaves in a Boston shaker. Add remaining ingredients and shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish cocktail with pineapple and basil.
- 1 ½ parts Milagro Silver Tequila
- ¾ part Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur
- 1 part Fresh Lime Juice
