National Margarita Day is Saturday, February 22 and winter remains to be in full swing for a few more weeks. The vivid, 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 after we need it, and never simply affix a drink to a season.
The origin of the margarita is one I’d need an total section to interrupt down, every story more fascinating than the following. David Wondrich, one of the 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 reworked into one thing instantly quaffable and a good selection for those who’re in a sunnier climate.
I’m a fan of a blood orange margarita, but in addition conventional margaritas made with recent lime juice and actually good ice is the place the drink can really stick to 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 option, and a lot of Italian pizazz to go round.
For now, please get pleasure from National Margarita Day responsibly and festively. Stay tuned to those pages for our St. Patrick’s Day drinks roundup that will likely be dwell on CASSIUS!
