It's 5 o'clock somewhere in the world...

With the discovery that last month had one of the best national days we have ever heard of, we have spent this month experimenting with various Margarita recipes to celebrate the 22nd February as National Margarita Day! But as today is St Patrick's day, when is better to have a Margarita? The lime juice counts as one of your 5-a-day, right?

This is v important to remember.

So in light of this incredible discovery, here is our #1 recipe to make the perfect Classic Margarita. You can thank us later.

Where can we get one of these cocktail-serving dogs? Asking for a friend.
