Nationwide Margarita Day kicks off this coming weekend and whereas it is likely to be somewhat chilly in lots of elements of the US, spring is true across the nook. To organize ourselves for enjoyable and solar, we’ve received quite a lot of Nationwide Margarita Day recipes starting from conventional recipes to remixed riffs.
Nationwide Margarita Day is Saturday, February 22 and winter remains to be in full swing for a number of extra weeks. The intense, usually citrus-forward nature of margaritas lends the beverage to being tailor-made for the nice and cozy months however we’re massive followers of sipping on what we would like once we need it, and never simply affix a drink to a season.
The origin of the margarita is one I’d want a whole phase to interrupt down, every story extra fascinating than the subsequent. David Wondrich, one of many foremost minds in cocktail historical past, linked the margarita to the brandy daisy, a drink that solidified its basis within the late nineteenth Century. Swapping out brandy for tequila, the daisy, which requires a base spirit, a liqueur, and citrus juice, is remodeled into one thing instantly quaffable and a good choice if you happen to’re in a sunnier local weather.
I’m a fan of a blood orange margarita, but additionally conventional margaritas made with contemporary lime juice and actually good ice is the place the drink can actually keep on with the soul. That mentioned, there are a selection of margarita tweaks that we featured on this 12 months’s roundup that we’ll dive into this weekend with our readers. I even managed to squeeze in a booze-free choice, and plenty of Italian pizazz to go round.
For now, please get pleasure from Nationwide Margarita Day responsibly and festively. Keep tuned to those pages for our St. Patrick’s Day drinks roundup.
