Our Top Three Margarita Recipes For National Margarita Day

Ahead of National Margarita Day, Monday, Feb. 22, La Adelita Tequila is celebrating with three unique drinks that everyone will love.

La Adelita Tequila is a boutique single-estate distillery in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, making small-batch craft tequila. It gets its name in honor of the courageous woman, The Adelitas who were instrumental fighters during the Mexican Revolution. All recipes were curated and created by #LaAdelitaArmy: A brand-created program that supports women in need during the pandemic.
