Happy National Margarita Day! Apparently, it is not every single day, but perhaps it should be. You can learn more about National Margarita Day on its website here. This occasion calls for breaking out the limes, triple sec and tequila and answering two very important questions today:<\/p>\n

1. Frozen or on the rocks?<\/p>\n

2. Salt or no?<\/p>\n

<\/a>There is great debate over the origin of the margarita, which was in the 1930s or 40s, and you can read more about that here<\/a>. The origin of the first frozen margarita machine, however, is known, and the marvelous machine invented in 1971 by Dallas restaurateur Mariano Martinez rests safely at the Smithsonian\u2019s Museum of American History.<\/p>\n
