MArgaritA
The official drink of having fun
February 22 marks International Margarita Day, a drink with Mexican origins that has been driving us all crazy since 1938. There are a lot of riffs and variations of the classic margarita recipe, but as long as you have a shaken drink with tequila, lime, and orange liqueur, you are safely in Margaritaville.
No one knows exactly who invented the cocktail, but as the story goes, a bartender named Danny Herrera first made the drink for actress Marjorie King, who was allergic to all spirits except tequila. Herrera combined different flavours, until he finally found one to satisfy Marjorie. And just like that, the most famous cocktail in the world was born: the Margarita.

SASHA SAYS:
"As you all know, I am a complex character. I like strong spirits on ice, as well as fancy drinks. But I have to be honest, Margherita is my guilty pleasure. And because it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere, don't wait any longer. Grab a fruit, tequila, triple sec ,and mix that baby up to the rhythm of “one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, fiesta”. But do drink responsibly, too much tequila has been known T’kill’ya! Salud!"
