Margarita is a sour cocktail that combines tequila, orange-flavoured liqueur and lime juice for a thirst-quenching zingy taste.
Said to have originated from Mexico, the Margarita is a popular cocktail that combines tequila, orange-flavoured and lime juice for a refreshingly zingy taste. The story goes that Mexican hotel manager, Daniel Negrete, created the Margarita in 1936 as a surprise for his girlfriend who enjoyed putting salt in her drinks. Served straight-up (chilled liquor only) or on the rocks (with ice), the legendary Margarita is a thirst-quenching beverage for every season.
