2. Margarita
Don’t tell me you are celebrating National Tequila Day without the classic margarita. There are endless variations of it, and every single one of them looks Instagram worthy. This drink has the looks and the grooves.
Ingredients

3. Ranch Rose
When I am in the mood for making a tequila that doesn’t require a cocktail shaker, I opt for Ranch Rose. Bright pink, refreshing, and everlasting. Didn’t get a rose, give it yourself in the form of a tequila. I think this is way better!
