7 Bay County restaurants where you can celebrate National Margarita Day
Margarita aficionados have a lot to look forward to as some Bay County restaurants prepare to pour up drink specials all day long on National Margarita Day.
Observed annually on Feb. 22, the worldwide holiday is celebrated to honor the sacred tequila, triple sec and lime drink with friends and family. The first margarita was created sometime in the 1930s or '40s in Mexico, but it's up for debate on who was responsible for inventing the legendary cocktail.
Now, margaritas can be found on just about every menu at any restaurant. Whether you like it on the rocks, frozen or on flights, these seven area restaurants are serving margarita specials all day long.
