Celebrate Margarita Day With Dos Lunas Tequila

EL PASO, Texas, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In light of Margarita Day on February 22, Dos Lunas Tequila encourages you (21 and older only!) to kick your shoes off, lay back and enjoy a delicious Dos Lunas Margarita.

The original Margarita recipe was invented in Ciudad Juarez-El Paso region (where Dos Lunas is headquartered) on July 4, 1942 by Francisco "Pancho" Morales. Morales was a bartender at a bar named Tommy's Place, according to The Old Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide (a book that professional and home bartenders alike call the "Bible of Booze"). Morales improvised the drink after a customer ordered a Magnolia, a drink recipe that he did not know, other than the fact that it contained Cointreau. The drink's popularity immediately grew after Morales, who was an instructor at the local bartender's school, began teaching the Margarita recipe to his students. The name Margarita is Spanish for "daisy."

The original recipe is very simple (2 parts silver tequila, 1 part Triple Sec, 1 part fresh lime juice); however, tequila lovers everywhere now enjoy variations of this delicious recipe. Happy Margarita Day!
