Margarita
- The Margarita is one of the most popular cocktails in North America. Combining the tang of lime and the sweetness of orange liqueur with tequila's distinctive flavor profile, the classic Margarita remains one of the most recognizable and timeless examples of the sour category of cocktails. Some say the cocktail was invented in 1948 in Acapulco, Mexico, when a Dallas socialite combined blanco tequila with Cointreau and lime juice for her guests. Others say that the Margarita, which translates to daisy flower in Spanish, was an inevitable twist on the earlier Daisy cocktail.
