My New Favourite Holiday: National Margarita Day

Here at Frost, we all love a reason to celebrate one of our favourite things… Cocktails. On the 22nd February we will be paying homage to one of the greatest cocktails ever created, the Margarita. This has to be a personal favourite of mine, there are many variations on the Margarita but personally, the versatility of the drink, being able to create heat with a little bit of spice or making it extremely fresh with lots of lime, is the thing that makes it a winning combo for me. With much debate as to where and when it was created, the basis of the cocktail has always been lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Nearly 80 years later, it’s about time the old faithful Margarita most certainly deserves it’s own day and we have some Margarita variations for you to try out yourself;
