Celebrate National Tequila Day the right way - with a margarita in one hand and tacos in the other! Cheers!
Celebrate National Tequila Day on July 24 with a shot of your favorite tequila! This special day has been around since the early 2000s and commemorates one of Mexico's most famous exports. Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, which grows in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán and Tamaulipas. It can be enjoyed neat or mixed into cocktails like margaritas or palomas. So raise your glass to toast National Tequila Day!
