// History of the Margarita
The Margarita’s true origin is a bit of a mystery, but most stories trace it back to Mexico in the 1930s or ’40s. Some say bartender Carlos “Danny” Herrera created it for a showgirl who could only drink tequila, while others credit socialite Margarita Sames, who mixed one up for friends in Acapulco. Another theory is that it evolved from the classic Daisy cocktail—fitting, since margarita means “daisy” in Spanish.
No matter who mixed the first one, the combination of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur struck gold. By the 1950s, it had become a staple in American bars. Today, the Margarita stands as one of the world’s most beloved cocktails—a perfect balance of tart, sweet, and salty.
