There are many food holidays to celebrate throughout the year, from National Cheeseburger Day in September to National Chocolate Day in October. However, if you prefer to celebrate a day that is dedicated to beverages with a little buzz, then National Margarita Day is the holiday built for you. Forget the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day — this special day is designed for those who enjoy their tequila cocktails on the rocks with a side of chips and salsa.
With National Margarita Day falling on February 22, many restaurants and bars are ringing in the party early with unbeatable deals and discounts — and yes, the majority of these are affordable, too. Whether this will be your first time taking part in the cocktail holiday or spending a night out with friends, here are the best National Margarita Day deals from restaurants and bars that you don’t want to miss out on.
