But mavens of margaritas know that the flavorful libation receives its holiday honors in February, a chilly month when toastier beverages spring to mind.
Let's concede that National Margarita Day is well-placed on the calendar: The days are already feeling longer, if not fully Cinco-like, and we're ready for a sip that is both sweet and convivial.
