9 Tequila Cocktails Perfect for National Burrito Day
It's National Burrito Day, and that means it's time for... tequila cocktails!!!!! Yes we need that many exclamation points, don't hate. Below are nine (nueve!) of our favorite tequila cocktails, with just enough variation so that you can find the drink that perfectly matches your own preferred little donkey — that's the literal translation of burrito, in case you didn't know. Also, burritos are 12,000 years old. Again, in case you didn't know.
1. La Bomba
Don't be fooled: La Bomba is not your classic margarita. This delicious twist on the classic has a serious pineapple tang to it, and it's perfect for pairing with carnitas — probably, we're guessing, you try it.
