The fact that National Margarita Day falls on a Friday is not just a coincidence, but rather a sign from the drinking gods that they want you to have fun and be happy. We also want that, and thanks to Peligroso Tequila, we have some delicious recipes for you to try out. They are far beyond your traditional margarita mix, so perfect for celebrating this holiday in style. And if you don't have time today, well, there is still the whole weekend ahead of you.
