Need an excuse to throw a party during the coldest part of winter? Well, our favorite holiday is just around the corner! Of course, we’re talking about National Margarita Day.
If you’ve never thrown a margarita party before, there are some essential ingredients to make the most of the holiday, and we’re here to help with that!
Let’s talk about how to plan for the best Margarita Day in town, how to throw a killer party, and plan ahead for your margarita-based events!
What is National Margarita Day?
Briefly, let’s talk about some history of this fascinating holiday.
If you don’t already know, Margarita Day takes place this year on February 22, 2022. A man by the name of Todd McCalla founded National Margarita Day to spread the love of the popular beverage around the country and, someday, the world.
Margaritas are one of the most widely consumed and popular cocktails in the US, which means it’s only natural that it gets its own holiday.
While margaritas have been a popular beverage since its creation in 1938, the holiday has only been observed since 2009. However, in that short period, it has quickly become one of the most popular food or beverage-related holiday in the US.
How to Properly Celebrate National Margarita Day
Okay, now that we know more about Margarita Day, it’s time to take it seriously. We only get a couple of chances each year to truly impress our guests, and this is one of the best holidays to do just that.
Well, without further ado, here are some tips to help you throw a Margarita Day event that nobody will forget.
Party
Of course, throwing a party of any size is the best way to celebrate Margarita Day. Margaritas are widely associated with having fun, and there are so many ways you can make a party memorable on such an exciting holiday.
Now, a Mexican theme is an obvious choice, but you can do whatever you want. For smaller gatherings (under 20 people), you can do a game night or tournament of some kind.
For larger groups, some Mexican music, a high-speed blender, and enough space will do the trick. The possibilities are endless, so take your guests into account, get creative and plan for something special.
Remember, parties can get expensive, so it’s best to plan ahead. The average American spends over $1,400 a year on event planning, so ensure you know your priorities. More on that later.
Family Celebrations
Another event to choose is a family celebration, assuming everyone is of legal age! Hire a babysitter for the night, invite the in-laws, and show off your celebration skills.
If you have a bar at your house, it’s time to take it out and load it with the essential ingredients. Limes, various, margarita mixers, tequila, and don’t forget plenty of ice!
However, it’s not a celebration without food, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with authentic Mexican food.
Catering
Honestly, there’s no better way to celebrate a holiday based on the most popular Mexican drink than with authentic Mexican food.
Whether you’re throwing a party, family gathering, or any other type of event, we recommend hiring authentic Mexican catering services. That way, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the party. We know hosting events is stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.
How to Make Margaritas You Won’t Forget
The most essential ingredient for Margarita Day is, you guessed it, killer margaritas.
If you’ve never made them before, then let’s talk about the essential ingredients for margaritas that are sure to impress.
Everybody has different tastes when it comes to their cocktails, and there are so many different types of margaritas. Some like them sweet, some like them salty, and some even like them with some spice!
For that reason, it’s important to have options available for your guests. First, margarita glasses are critical.
If you don’t have margarita glasses, don’t worry. You can always get disposable glasses for the night, which is perfect if you have a lot of guests or don’t plan to use the glasses again.
Next, you need both coarse sugar and salt. Lay them evenly on plates, cut up your limes, and rub them across the rim of the glass to get them wet. Let your guests choose which type they want, wet the rim with the lime, flip it over, and rub it into the salt or sugar for an authentic margarita!
Finally, it’s important to offer different types of tequila and mixers. Margaritas come in many different flavors, so don’t limit yourself to one or two. Your guests will all have different tastes.
Also, we suggest choosing a high-quality blender, as an old one may have trouble crushing your ice too well, or it may even break during the party!
However, if you want to spend more time partying and less time making drinks for your guests, then we suggest choosing a service that meets your catering needs, including margaritas. That way, you won’t need to buy glasses, too many mixers, or do any work!
