Whatcha Drinkin? Margarita Day

National Margarita Day happens each year on February 22nd. It was created by Todd McCalla, who wanted to spread his love for margaritas around the world. Todd even created a website to promote the day, aptly called nationalmargaritaday.com

Does it seem odd that National Margarita Day is at the end of February? In a word, yes, however who are we to complain. We love margaritas and the more reasons to drink them, the happier we are.
