Friday, February 22nd marks the little known but much deserved holiday National Margarita Day! Forget scouring the cold for the perfect margarita, this year let the world’s oldest, SASSIEST and most popular tequila brand, show you exciting new ways to celebrate and create the perfect Mexican inspired treat at home.
Jose Cuervo Platino is the newest high-end silver addition to the world’s leading tequila portfolio. Platino scored a 96 or “superlative” in a blind test by the Beverage Tasting Institute, garnering the highest rating the BTI has ever given silver tequila and far surpassing Patron Silver.
