Origins of the Margarita The exact origins of the Margarita are shrouded in mystery, with several tales vying for the title of the true story. One popular legend attributes the creation to Carlos “Danny” Herrera, who made the drink in the 1940s at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, located near Tijuana, Mexico. He allegedly created it for a showgirl named Marjorie King, who was allergic to all spirits except tequila but disliked its harsh taste.

Another theory credits the invention to Margarita Sames, a Dallas socialite who, in 1948, mixed up the drink at her Acapulco party. Yet another story points to a barman named Pancho Morales, who supposedly created the drink on July 4, 1942, at a bar in Juárez, Mexico.

Regardless of its true origin, the Margarita gained massive popularity in the United States and became a driver of the tequila industry. The cocktail was actively popularized in the advertising campaigns and in the magazines. There is even a National Margarita Day taking place annually on February 22nd.
