Celebrate National Margarita Day

Get your tequila and limes out for this unofficial holiday on February 22nd.

Steps

Try different serving methods. Margaritas are either usually "on the rocks" (ingredients straight over ice cubes), shaken (with ice in another container and served), or blended (with ice in a blender).
Experiment with different ingredient ratios. Try these common measurements^[1]:
- 2:1:1 = 50% tequila, 25% triple sec, 25% lime/lemon juice
- 3:2:1 = 50% tequila, 33% triple sec, 17% lime/lemon juice
- 3:1:1 = 60% tequila, 20% triple sec, 20% lime/lemon juice
- 6:3:1 = 60% tequila, 30% triple sec, 10% lime/lemon juice
- 1:1:1 = 33% tequila, 33% triple sec, 33% lime/lemon juice
- 7:4:3 = 50% tequila, 29% triple sec, 21% lime/lemon juice
Give your margaritas color. Use different flavored liqueurs to enrich the beauty of the drink. Blue curacao is most commonly used to create the "blue margarita".
Change a fruit. While the standard margarita calls for fresh lime or lemon juice, other fruits are acceptable to substitute in the drink. Try mango, banana, apple, strawberry, or raspberry.

Use a margarita in a dessert. Enjoy recipes such as Make Strawberry Margarita Cakes and Make Layered Margarita Bites.
Make non-alcoholic things. You don't need an actual margarita to enjoy this holiday. Create Make Mock Margaritas or ones using non-alcoholic ingredients.

If you might be drinking an amount that could get you drunk, it is best to drink in safe environments, in the company of trusted family members and friends that can watch out for your safety.

Please be responsible. Never drink and drive. Know your limits and avoid drinking to drunkenness.
