Have a Drink

Did you know that yesterday was national margarita day? It is not known who "invented" the margarita, but one of the most accepted stories was that bartender Don Carlos Orozco was experimenting with new drink mixes when the daughter of a German ambassador, Margarita Henkel arrived. He offered the drink to Margarita, and named it after her as she was the first person to taste it. The mixture he came up with had equal parts tequila, orange liqueur, and lime, and was served over ice in a salt rimmed glass.
To celebrate, below are two drink recipes. Let us know in the comments if you try them!
