National Margarita Day is this Tuesday, and this year, every tequila lover’s favorite holiday falls on a special date: 2.22.22. Jose Cuervo knows that without limes, there are no margaritas. That’s why the brand is giving away up to 22,222 limes in celebration of the holiday.

That’s not all: one lucky winner will receive the golden lime with a grand prize: a trip for two to visit Tequila, Mexico and Latin America’s oldest distillery, La Rojeña, where Jose Cuervo is produced, followed by a weekend in Cabo San Lucas, relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Mexico.
The sweepstakes run until 2/22 and to enter fans can visit www.CuervoLimes.com.
