Olay, Tomorrow Is National Margarita Day!
You know what’s tastier than a margarita? Ten of ’em. Hell, 20 of ’em. In fact, any amount of Tequila-infused-goodness you can consume in the next 48 hours is perfect because tomorrow, all day, is National Margarita Day—a full Saturday dedicated to paying tribute and honoring this beloved cocktail.
