Origins of the Margarita Cocktail

The exact origins of the Margarita cocktail are somewhat murky, but one popular theory is that it was created in Mexico in the 1930s or 1940s.

She mixed tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice together and served it over ice – thus creating what we now know as the Margarita cocktail.

Another theory suggests that the Margarita cocktail was actually created by Carlos "Danny" Herrera at his Tijuana-based restaurant Rancho La Gloria around 1938. He reportedly made it for Marjorie King, an aspiring actress who was allergic to all hard alcohol except tequila.
