We’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating. Again. Every day celebrates something.
Monday, February 22, is National Margarita Day and El Torito, right here in Hastings Ranch, will be celebrating, de seguro.
The popular chain restaurant will honor the day with their specialty Margaritas including the Black Diamond Margarita, made with Maestro Dobel Silver Tequila and Hennessy, hand-shaken at your table and poured into a martini glass with a black salt rim made of Hawaiian Black Lava Salt.
There’s also the new Rosé Margarita, a Margarita with a twist. This one features Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila & Cupcake Rosé, with fresh lemon juice and agave nectar.
Perhaps the Cadillac Margarita is more your speed? El Torito’s is made with premium 1800 Reposado, triple sec and sweet & sour, served hand-shaken or on-the-rocks. It’s available in original, Midori Melon, Pomegranate, Mango or Blackberry.
Need more suggestions? We’re so glad you asked.
