It is National Tequila Day, and lucky for us, it is on a Friday.

No summer is complete without a margarita, (or two… or three), and we are embracing this day as a Cinco de Mayo in July.

To celebrate this amazing holiday, upgrade your margaritas with these recipes from Don Julio Blanco and mixologist Angela Laino of The Wayland in New York City.  Not only will you impress your friends, but we guarantee these drinks will go down smoother than a tequila shot.

Adding fresh ingredients such as cilantro, blood oranges and or course, lime, these tequila drinks bring more to the table than your classic margarita.

Check out the margarita recipes below and try it at home today!
