Margarita Cocktail History
My most popular story is of showgirl named
Marjorie King who had an allergy to
alcohol and for some reason could only drink Tequila. In
1938, while visiting the Rancho Del Gloria Bar in
Rosarita Beach, Mexico, Marjorie asked one of the
bartenders to mix her a cocktail rather than just taking
a shot. The bartender, Danny Herrera, poured tequila
over shaved ice then added lemon and triple sec. He
translated Marjorie's name to Spanish and thus the name.
Another story is about a Dallas socialite, named — you
guessed it — Margarita Sames. During a 1948 Christmas
party at her vacation home in Acapulco, Mexico (must be
nice!), she threw together tequila, Cointreau and lime
juice with great success. Her friends took the recipe to
the United States, and it spread like melted cheese
sauce over nachos. Still another tale in this cocktails
history comes from Tommy's Place in Juarez, Mexico.
Poncho Morales was working the bar in 1942 when a woman
came up to him and ordered a drink called a Magnolia.
Morales could not remember what was in a Magnolia,
except Cointreau. So, he decided to fake it. After
mixing Cointreau with tequila, he named the new
concoction after another flower, the daisy. Daisy in
Spanish, is of course, Margarita. The cocktail seems to
have it's history clouded in mystery and myth. Many have
claimed to now the origins of this popular drink mixed
with tequila and lime juice. |
