It seems there are “National” food and beverage holidays for every day of the yearรขโฌโ but, in my opinion, the only one that really matters isรย National Margarita Day, February 22!
I’ve been enjoying margaritas since the day I turned 21. And if you asked me if I had a signature drink, the margarita would be it. The crazy thing about is that I’m not a huge fan of tequila … unless it’s mixed with lime juice and triple sec!
This year Iรขโฌโขm celebrating National Margarita Day in preparation forรย Bahama Breeze Viva La Rita. Whatรขโฌโขs Viva La รขโฌหRita? Only the coolest celebration of the most awesome adult beverage in the world! You can get in onรย #VivaLaRitaรย by entering my giveaway below!
From National Margarita Day (February 22nd) to Cinco de Mayo (May 5th), Bahama Breeze will be celebrating the margarita in a fresh new way that will put sunshine in your smile and get everyone ready for warmer weather. The celebration will include four new speciality margaritas, Friday night parties, giveaways and live music during Viva La รขโฌหRita!
I totally get what Bahama Breeze is getting at with warmer weather- seriously, letรขโฌโขs bring it on! Even though itรขโฌโขs a bit chilly today (How is it below 60 degrees in Florida right now!?), I decided to kick off National Margarita Day with a delightful margarita recipe featuring fresh blueberries and lavender.
Itรขโฌโขs the perfect combination of sweet and tart, and I know you’re just going to love it รขโฌโ because I sure do! The recipe is also known as the Corina-Rita, named after the mixologist who created it especially for me.
