National Margarita Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the beloved margarita, a cocktail that has won the hearts of many around the world. The Origin is a Mystery The exact origin of the Margarita is shrouded in mystery, with several bartenders across Mexico and the United States claiming to have invented it in the 1930s and 1940s. One popular story credits Carlos "Danny" Herrera at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Mexico, for creating the drink for dancer Marjorie King in 1938. The Classic Recipe The classic Margarita recipe is a simple yet perfect blend of tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau or triple sec, often served with salt on the rim of the glass. Over the years, this traditional recipe has been the foundation for countless variations, incorporating a wide range of flavors and ingredients. A Record-Breaking Cocktail: The world's largest Margarita was created in 2011 at the Margaritaville Casino in Las Vegas. This gigantic cocktail was made in a 17-foot-tall tank and contained over 8,500 gallons of liquid, earning it a place in the Guinness World Records. Margarita Means Daisy in Spanish The word "Margarita" is Spanish for "daisy." The Margarita cocktail is believed to be a variation on the Daisy, a cocktail that became popular in the early 20th century, which was traditionally made with brandy, citrus juice, and a sweetener. The Margarita essentially substitutes tequila for brandy, offering a Mexican twist to an old favorite. #NationalMargaritaDay

Hello friends family and acquaintances today is NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ECLAIR DAY! National Chocolate Eclair Day falls on June 22 each year and recognizes a delicious cream-filled pastry covered in smooth chocolate. Pastry. Check. Cream filling. Check. Chocolate. Check. What more could you want in a food holiday? Maybe a cup of coffee to go with it, but other than that, you won't need anything else. We all know the French make many delicacies from dough and the eclair is no different. Eclairs are a particular pastry made from a dough called pate a choux that is piped it into an oblong shape using a pastry bag. Once baked, the eclair is light and crispy on the outside and hollow on the inside making it the perfect avenue for transporting creamy vanilla or chocolate creme. The word eclair comes from the French word, meaning “flash of lightning.” The connection between the word and this French pastry remains unclear. Some people suggest that the éclair is so named because it is eaten so quickly. For instance you might say, “You ate that in a flash!” Another interpretation, however, says that the name came from the glistening of the frosting, which resembles lightning. Originating during the nineteenth century in France, the eclair was first called pain à la Duchesse or “petite Duchesse.” Food historians believe that French chef Antonin Careme (1784-1833) first developed the eclair. The 1884 Boston Cooking School Cook Book, by Mrs. D.A. Lincoln, has the first known English-language recipe for eclairs. In some regions of the United States, Long Johns are marketed under the name eclairs. However, the two are not quite identical. Long Johns are made with donut pastry and typically filled with vanilla pudding or custard. The eclair, on the other hand, requires a little more effort and expense to make.  #NationalChocolateEclairDay #dallasharristips
