The Rise of the Margarita
Every year, cocktail enthusiasts look forward to February 22nd, a day dedicated to enjoying one of the world's most beloved cocktails: the margarita. National Margarita Day 2025 is no exception, promising a day filled with flavor, festivity, and fantastic deals.
Tracing the margarita back to its roots, this iconic drink has a story as refreshing as its taste. While its exact origins are a topic of debate, one thing’s for certain: its charm is timeless. Some say it originated in Mexico in the late 1930s or early 1940s, while others credit the frozen margarita machine, invented by Texan, Mariano Martinez in 1971, for elevating its popularity. This device, drawing from an old soft-serve ice cream machine, revolutionized how we enjoy frozen cocktails.
