In Margaritaville, we love to celebrate, and nothing calls for a party like a day designated to our signature beverage, the margarita! National Margarita Day is later this week on February 22^nd, so you still have time to plan and throw a get together for the record books.

To help you master this holiday, here are our tips and tricks to hosting the ultimate National Margarita Day party.

Booze in the Blender: You don’t need to leave Margaritaville to find all the boozy ingredients you need. Our classic margarita recipe is sure to be a hit. Sweet, salty, or even spicy, this delicious drink is easily modified to delight every guest at the party.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try out Last Mango, Calypso Coconut or Island Lime tequila flavors. Need a short cut? Open a bottle that’s ready to drink.

The Blender: Just as important as the booze are the tools you use to shake, stir or blend your cool concoctions. And, nothing whips up the perfect margarita faster and easier than a Frozen Concoction Machine. With a preset margarita setting, your frozen drinks are the perfect consistency every time.

Pre-Party Prep: Once you’re guests arrive you’ll want to join the party, so it helps to think ahead. Make sure you have an empty dishwasher for loading dirty glasses, extra hangers in the coat closet and paper towels handy in case of spills.

The Playlist: Set the mood for the party with the perfectly curated playlist of island escapism. We’ve got you covered – tune in for free!

Holiday Décor:  It may be February, but you can turn your home into a tropical island with some fun decorations like blow up palm trees, Hawaiian lei’s and pineapple lanterns. Don’t forget to decorate your tabletop! These tropical margarita glasses, hibiscus shaped plates and even Margaritaville’s signature blender cups should do the trick.

Food: Nibble on more than just sponge cake with a variety of tropically themed recipes and   easy-to-make meals. And for dessert, these tequila cookies are sweet, salty, and delicious!

The Perfect Outfit: Have a full closet but nothing to wear? A party calls for some new flip flops!

The Morning After Revival: In this case, there’s a thin line between Thursday night and Friday morning. After a few margaritas, you may need help waking up the next morning. Kickstart your day with a protein shake and vitamin supplement. Consider taking Friday off all together… you deserve a long weekend!

And if you still don’t feel like hosting after going through our tips…go where it’s warm! From beverage specials to exclusive resort packages, here’s how you can join in the fun in Margaritaville.
