Today is National Margarita Day! There is some debate about who first created the famous cocktail, but many believe that credit should go to Margaret "Margarita" Sames, a Dallas socialite who created a light drink which could be enjoyed before lunch. Without question, the margarita is wildly popular - in 2008 it was the most ordered cocktail, followed by martinis, rum and coke, and vodka tonics. At its simplest, the drink includes tequila, triple sec, lime juice, salt and ice, but today's margarita consumers have a dizzying variety of flavors to choose from - strawberry, mango, pear, peach - the list goes on. If you feel like celebrating today, visit one of these twin/multiples owned restaurants!
