Make it a Margarita Day (Recipes!)

Now that dry January is officially over, we’re really looking forward to this celebration: February 22nd is National Margarita Day! It’s a full day to honour the sixth most-popular cocktail in the world (and during a time when we Canadians need the tropical-island inspo that the margarita provides), and we’ve got three amazing recipes, courtesy of Tequila Herradura Silver (which launches in Canada this month), that you can make at home. —Vita Daily
