The Mexican-originated cocktail "Margarita" has so many stories of its invention. The classic margarita is a complex yet divine blend of tequila, lime juice with sweetener. The bartenders serve the original version of the drink in glasses with salted rims.
Now, mango and strawberry versions of margaritas are the most sought flavors aside from the original. No matter how famous the drink is, there still is debate about how this mouthwatering delicacy came to be.
Most people believe Margarita is an American version of the drink "daisy" which got popular during the years of the nationwide ban on alcoholic beverages in America.
Another contender for the invention of the margarita is Margarita Sames. A Dallas socialite claimed to make this beverage to her friends in one of her houses in Acapulco.
One popular story for the invention of the Mexican margarita also involves a gorgeous woman. The story revolves around a bartender Don Carlos Orozco who was working at Hussong's Cantina in Ensenada. One fine day, when he was testing out different blends of cocktails, a woman named Margarita Henkel walked into the bar. Don offered his first attempted blend to her and then supposedly decided to name after her.
