Like the prolific cocktail itself, the origin story of the margarita is a little bit hazy, but the roots of the tequila-based drink can be traced back as early as the late 1930s. Cocktail historians reference a liquid evolution that stems from the Daisy, a classic cocktail popular during the same era, consisting of light grain alcohol (usually tequila) with citrus and grenadine, served over shaved ice. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that margarita means “daisy” in Spanish and today’s traditional recipe, whether you order it on the rocks or frozen, is one of the most popular drinks found on any menu.
