Found: The 5 Best Cocktail Kits to Celebrate World Margarita Day
On February 22, the world will honour one of the all time best cocktails, the margarita. Here's how we'll be celebrating.
Some people may count their birthday, or Christmas, as their favourite day of the year. Us? We're locking in February 22 as the day we look forward to the most.
Why? Because it's the day the world gathers to celebrate one of the most refreshing, flavourful and popular drinks on offer: the Margarita.
A day to celebrate the classic cocktail, World Margarita Day is a time to raise a salt-rimmed glass to the tangy combo that is tequila, triple sec and lime.
This year, we're turning to some of our favourite cocktail curators to lead the celebrations, with mixes and kits perfect for celebrating at home.
Here are five of our faves.

The team at Melbourne-based Curatif take their Margaritas very seriously... so much so, that they've dedicated the whole MONTH to celebrating the beloved drink.

The 12-pack features a hand-picked selection of some of Curatif's favourite tequilas, mezcals, destillados and liqueurs in flavours like salted blueberry, pineapple, mango and cherry.
Plus, every purchase of participating Curatif Margarita products during Margarita Month goes in the running to win a weekly prize, a hand-crafted solid gold signet ring by Pinky Blinder, valued at $3,135. There are also daily prizes on offer, with a Grand Prize in the final week to include an additional $1,000 AUD cash prize. Now that's something to cheers to.
