That is the question.Ī margarita is noticeable in its salted rim. It was published in December 1953 in an issue of esquire and called for “an ounce of tequila, a dash of triple sec and the juice of half a lime or lemon” The first known publication of a margarita recipe was in 1953.
The margarita is poured into a Ralph Lauren hand-blown Hungarian crystal glass that can be taken home afterwards. The tequila alone costs around $1800 dollars. The reason it fetches such a high price is due to its costly ingredients. It’s sold at a Hotel bar in New York and rightly named “The Billionaires Margarita” and wouldn’t you believe it, it's a frozen margarita. The most expensive margarita cost a whopping $1200. The original Margarita cocktail would have been called a Tequila daisy. It’s a recipe that has inspired cocktails from the Margarita to the side car. It consists of a base spirit, sugar and sour. The Daisy is an old sour drink from the prohibition era. Margarita Day was established by to help celebrate this amazing drink. The “Lucky Rita” was 8500 gallons (32,176 litres) in a 17-foot-tall tank and took 60 people 300 hours to create.įriday, 22nd February is national Margarita day.

After seeing a Slurpee machine in a 7-Eleven, 26-year-old Dallas restaurateur Mariano Martinez transformed a soft-serve ice cream machine into one that pumped out frosty margaritas. The first frozen margarita machine was invented in 1971. However, and mind the pun, It's best you take them with a pinch of salt. That being said, there are some interesting stories out there which make for good reads. Even then you’d have debates over if the person who gave it the name ‘Margarita’ should be credited with its creation, or the person who first mixed the ingredients… So to find the origins of the Margarita, you’d have to go back and find the origins of the tequila daisy. But as you will learn below, the Margarita is essentially a variation on the “Tequila Daisy” cocktail. There is however, a lot of evidence that suggests that the Margarita cocktail was invented in 1938 by Tijuana-based Carlos ‘Danny’ Herrera. There's tales a plenty and everyone has their theory about the origins or someone who has laid claim to the discovery of the Margarita.

My personal favourite recipe is my advanced “Smartblend Margarita'' It takes a bit of “mixology” knowledge and prep, but the end product is worth the time, trust me. From Mezcal margarita’s, to Black Margarita’s, Aloe vera Margarita’s to coriander and chilli Margarita’s. Actually that’s not a bad idea…Īnyway… I got a bit distracted then. I love Margaritas, they’re hands down my favourite cocktail, so as you can imagine, I’ve created enough margarita twists to make a margarita cocktail recipe book if I wanted. Just swap out the syrup or orange liqueur and replace them with whatever you’d like. It's the perfect example of a cocktail that you can use as a guide or a base to creating your very own cocktail recipes. Part of the reason it's grown so popular is because of how many variations there are to the Margarita recipe.
