July 24, 2020 is National Tequila Day, and there's no better way to begin the weekend than with a Friday night happy hour that celebrates all things tequila.
After you've decided which bottle of tequila to pickup, jazz up your choice by combining it in one of these 25 unique cocktails, recommended by expert mixologists and iconic tequila distilleries.
Kick back with a low-lift classic spicy or skinny margarita, or go the extra mile by creating a blended drink full of fresh fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe.

Created in Mexico, tequila is an alcohol distilled from the agave plant, and can have a variety of different tastes and aromas, from citrus and floral to vanilla or oak. Whether you're happy with a light colored Blanco or prefer a well-aged Anejo, tequila offers something for everyone to enjoy, and is the perfect base for both simple and deliciously complex cocktails.
