The cocktail holiday series continues! First we celebrated National Pina Colada Day, then it was National Daiquiri Day, and now? It’s all about the spirit of Mexico. National Tequila Day was technically on Sunday, July 24th, but you can still keep the party going in style. According to sources, the classic Margarita is the most popular drink in the United States and we can understand why. Not only is it easy to make, but it gives patrons an excuse to let go and savor tequila in a delicious, thirst-quenching way. To coincide with the steamy summer season, we’re sipping on a Ruby Margarita, which combines the sweet-meets-tangy flavor of pomegranate, as well as the richness of a smoky, soft tequila resposado. The result? A girly pink drink the ladies will love that has enough punch to keep gents on their toes. Viva tequila!
