Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels® in Florida Celebrate National Margarita Day With or Without Salt
Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 20, 2014 -- February 22nd is National Margarita Day. The margarita cocktail—a famous concoction of tequila, Cointreau or Triple Sec, and lime juice—has been around since the 1940s. The master mixologists at the Personal Luxury Resorts and Hotels® in Florida offer their most delicious take on the tried-and-true margarita recipe.
“As warm-weather destinations, the Personal Luxury Resorts in Florida find these are best served pool-, beach- or yacht-side,” states Eric Gavin, regional vice president of sales & marketing.
Mister Collins at ONE Bal Harbour Resort & Spa in Bal Harbour, has been applauded by national magazines for its cocktail crafting prowess. Food & Beverage director Adam Postal is the genius behind the Not So Sour Margarita. In addition, on February 22, 2014, Mister Collins will host a two-for-one Margarita special throughout lunch and dinner service. http://www.onebalharbourresort.com.
