Let’s raise a glass to toast National Margarita Day, which falls on Saturday, February 22nd! Those seeking the recipe and know-how to whip up The Perfect Margarita should first think of Jimmy Buffett’s® Margaritaville® Orlando.
Honoring their namesake holiday, Margaritaville® will celebrate by hosting Margaritaville University featuring a complimentary Margarita-making class followed by a National Margarita Day toast. It’s sure to be one heck of a party!
