History
The Margarita was created sometime around the 1930’s but nobody is quite sure where or quite sure when.
However, it has gone on to become a classic cocktail the world over with all sorts of weird and wonderful twists and created in many different forms. The base ingredients, however, should always be the same no matter what is added: tequila, orange curacao, lime and sugar.
According to cocktail historian David Wondrich, author of Imbibe!, the best guess is that the Margarita as we know and love it, evolved from a cocktail known as the “Daisy.” This mix of alcohol, citrus juice, and grenadine served over shaved ice, was popular during the 1930s and 40s.
