Cheers! Get the limes and salt ready for National Margarita Day on Wednesday, February 22. Even better, when you can raise a glass on the cheap. The boozy day is the perfect time to relax and sip on some salty savings around town with friends and family. The iconic cocktail is made of tequila, triple sec and limes (sometimes lemons), served in a cocktail glass with a salt rim.
