About the Margarita
A classic with many stories.
No one knows for certain who invented the Margarita. Popular stories credit Carlos "Danny" Herrera around 1938 or Margarita Sames in 1948, and many historians trace it to an older drink called the Daisy—margarita is Spanish for daisy. The classic build is tequila, lime and orange liqueur.
