11 Products to Help You Celebrate National Margarita Day

Happy National Margarita Day! Celebrate by blending up some delicious cocktails. (Both traditional or frozen are allowed—it's a holiday, after all.) Here are some products to use while you and your friends are hanging on the porch throwing back margs in the warm February sun.

1. QUENCH MARGARITA MASTER; $12

Nothing kills a buzz faster than having to clean a bunch of knives and strainers, so streamline the process with the all-in-one Margarita Master, which comes with a knife, reamer, jigger, salt rimmer, and strainer. Not only is the entire marg-making process handled with one device, but clean-up is easy, which means you can get back to enjoying the simpler things—namely, tequila, lime juice, and triple-sec—more quickly.

2. MOLECULAR MIXOLOGY KIT; $30

Margarita Day is really about kicking back with a frosty treat, but if you want to inject some science into your cocktail, no one’s going to stop you. This kit comes with three easy molecular recipes to transform your margarita drinking experience. You can break down lime juice into little "caviar" beads or turn it into a flavor-filled cloud of foam. It may not be the way Jimmy Buffet intended the cocktail to be ingested, but there’s no judgment in Margaritaville.

3. TRES AGAVES MARGARITA MIX; $26

Most people prefer to make their margaritas from scratch, but when you're in a real rush to relax, there might not be time to get all the ingredients together. With agave nectar and pulpy lime juice, this handy mix guarantees a sweet cocktail in seconds; all you need to add is the tequila.

4. MARGARITA JELLY BELLYS; $11

If you’re looking to get into the spirit of the holiday without the booze, these jelly beans taste a lot like the real thing. “The Lexus of Jelly Beans!” one Amazon reviewer raved. The beans come in 1 pound bags; you can fill margarita glasses with the green beans for a similar experience.

5. COLORED SALT; $29
