Margarita Day in the USA has become an occasion for tequila lovers and cocktail enthusiasts to honour this classic cocktail.

So, raise a glass and indulge in this iconic drink featuring tequila, lime juice, and triple sec, served with a salted rim. Delicious!

It’s a fun event, post-Christmas and Valentine’s Day. What a great opportunity to try a few creative versions of the classic margarita.

Here are some ideas how you can celebrate Margarita Day:

Head to your favourite bar or Mexican restaurant – Cayman boasts a fantastic selection of Mexican restaurants. From La Casita in the East End, to West Bay Road where Taco Cantina, Coccoloba, Casa 43, and Spanglish are located. You can also head into George Town to dine at the Foundry or Agave. And there is Loco in Camana Bay. You will be spoilt for choice!

Host a margarita tasting party – Get out your cocktail shaker or dust down your frozen margarita machine, stock up on ice and salt, and invite your friends over! Try different types of tequila (blanco, reposado, añejo) and compare how they change the flavour.

Make it a Mexican night – At home, with friends and family, it’s a great way to relax and enjoy Mexican cuisine paired with margaritas. Tacos, nachos, quesadillas, guacamole, and other Mexican-inspired dishes are perfect complements. Just keep the kids away from the tequila!

Create your own margarita recipe – Experiment and be creative with alternative ingredients. Make it fruity by adding pineapple or mango or stawberry for a refreshing twist. Perhaps add mint for additional flavour as well as medical value to reduce indigestion from all of the Mexican food consumed!
