Italicus Margarita

The origins around Margarita are somewhat disputed, with several different stories claiming to be the true inspiration behind the drink. Some believe that the margarita was first created in the late 1930s or early 1940s in Mexico. It is said that a socialite named Margarita Sames created the cocktail at a party in her Acapulco home by mixing together tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Others believe that the drink was actually invented by Carlos “Danny” Herrera, a Tijuana-based bartender, in the late 1930s. According to this story, Herrera created the drink for a customer who was allergic to all forms of alcohol except tequila. It gained popularity throughout the 1940s and 1950s. In the united states, the drink became particularly popular in southern California and Texas, where it was often served with salt on the rim of the glass. By the 1960s, the margarita had become a staple of the American cocktail culture and was being served in bars and restaurants across the country.
