Every February 22, people come together for National Margarita Day to pay homage to my favorite cocktail. I will not be going out to celebrate it in 2021, it would not be prudent (the photo is from three years ago), but I will hoist at least one (or two) safe at home. That might even be healthy - one can always hope.

Classic Homemade Margarita

Ingredients: 

Process:

  • Combine all ingredients in a shaker and add ice.
  • Shake and strain into a salt-rimmed rocks glass, over ice.
  • Garnish with a lime wheel.

By the way, cuing up Jimmy Buffet’s "Margaritaville" on your music player of choice might make your day even more celebratory.
