In honor of National Tequila Day (July 24), Barcelo Hotel Group is giving us five different ways to enjoy the festive spirit, from drinking it to wrapping our bodies in it.
Beetroot Margarita at Occidental Costa Cancun: Sip on a unique cocktail at this oceanfront resort located on famous Boulevard Kukulcan. The beetroot margarita is made with tequila blanco, orange liquor, lemon juice, agave and fresh beetroot — our idea of a serving of veggies.
