It’s been a long week and it’s only Tuesday. That’s okay because it’s National Margarita Day!
To celebrate the holiday that we all need try these amazing sips at Happy Hour and all night long. Just remember it is a work day. One, two, three – bottoms up before midnight.
The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart and Alex Pall certainly have music to make National Margarita Day fun, but you will really be dancing to the beat of their very own JAJA Tequila. The Blanco is simply enjoyable. The experience highlights subtle tones and never overwhelms the senses. Best of all each bottle of JAJA is made from 90% recycled glass and zero plastic, and pulp from the agave is composted and returned to the fields as fertilizer.
Ingredients
1.5 oz of JAJA Blanco
2 oz. Limeade
Spiked Seltzer
Watermelon
Directions:
Build in a salted rim highball glass over ice and garnish with watermelon wedge.
If you are in the mood for something sizzling today try Volcán de mi Tierra Blanco’s Devil’s Margarita.

1 ⅓ oz Volcán de mi Tierra Blanco
1 oz fresh lime juice
⅔ oz simple syrup
⅔ oz fruity red wine
Directions
