In the world of quirky celebrations, there's one that stands out as a true fiesta for the taste buds – National Margarita Day. I'm excited to get into the history of National Margarita Day and share a recipe that will add a sweet twist to your day – a Strawberry Margarita!

The Origins of National Margarita Day:

National Margarita Day recently joined the calendar scene, all thanks to Todd McCalla, a true margarita enthusiast on a mission to share his love for this iconic cocktail with the world. Now, the details of its origin might be a bit foggy, much like the tequila swirling in a margarita, but here's what we know for sure – it's a day to raise a glass and savor the goodness that is the strawberry margarita.

Strawberry Margarita Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz tequila

• 1 oz triple sec

• 1 oz fresh lime juice

• 1 oz strawberry puree

• 1 oz simple syrup

• Ice

• Fresh strawberries and lime slices for garnish

• Salt or sugar for rimming the glass (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glass: Rim your glass with salt or sugar by moistening the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it into salt or sugar. I personally prefer sugar with strawberry margaritas!

2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, strawberry puree, simple syrup, and a handful of ice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slushy.

3. Pour and Garnish: Pour the strawberry margarita mixture into your prepared glass. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and lime wedges.

4. Serve and Enjoy: Find a cozy spot, turn on your favorite TV show, and savor every sip of your homemade Strawberry Margarita.
