Who invented national margarita day

While that's his full-time gig, in the weeks leading up to his holiday, he works on hyping up the big day and " engaging with the community. Over the years, McCalla has developed a more polished explanation as to why he made the margarita's holiday in February.

He said the month is just a "sad, gray time of year for people and it'd be worth brightening it up with a margarita. His website has also evolved, now functioning as a service, or a "semi-formal list of best places to find a margarita in the area," McCalla said.

He even contracted a professional puppeteer — and wrote him a script — to serve as an educational video on the holiday's landing page. Restaurants and bars will see a spike in margarita sales on the holiday, whether they're prepared or not, McCalla said, though more and more establishments "becoming observant" and using the opportunity to offer promotions. McCall said while he's proud of his margarita work, because he's a quieter person, he plays his cards closer to his chest. Not everyone in his life knows about his part-time profession as tequila hero, but he said when they do find out, they rarely believe him at first.

While the true identity of the tequila master may never be known, the margarita will go down in history as one of the most popular mixed drinks of all time.
