National Margarita Day: Radio Margaritaville shares recipes from around the world!

Thank goodness for food industry marketing because we no longer have to wait until Cinco de Mayo to drink Margaritas on special. But in case weak-well tequila blended with outrageously sweet mixers for $2 isn’t your thing, Jimmy Buffett’s Radio Margaritaville (Ch. 24) has you covered with tried-and-true takes on everyone’s favorite Mexican cocktail to make at home, as well as party-themed programming all day long on Margarita Day (Feb. 22)!
