In the mood for something south of the border? It's tequila time! Back in February Awakenings featured Have your drink & eat it, too! in celebration of Margarita Day. Not only were classic margarita recipes for this ultra popular cocktail provided but also scrumptious shrimp and crab recipes along with a margarita pie and cupcakes. The margarita, of course, is not the only tequila cocktail nor is tequila limited to a cocktail. Start the music and get ready to #celebrate!

July 24 is...

Just one possibility!

*Over 50 million liters of tequila are consumed every year in America.

*All tequila must be produced using blue agave and only the agave heart is used to make tequila.
*Unlike other forms of alcohol, tequila is not a depressant.

*Not all tequila shots need to involve salt and limes. In Spain, for example, they use oranges and cinnamon.

*Despite all signs pointing otherwise, studies have shown that if consumed in moderation tequila can cut the risk of dementia by 37%.

*The Mexican government holds exclusive rights over the name ‘tequila.’
