One story says that the margarita was invented in October 1941, by Carlos “Danny” Herrera at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito Beach in Mexico.[4][5] According to this story, Danny hit upon the idea of an iced drink combining tequila, Mexican lime juice, and an orange-flavored liqueur. Another story says that the margarita was invented in 1938 by Francisco “Pancho” Morales while working as a bartender in Juárez, Mexico.[1][2] Morales later moved to El Paso, Texas, where he claimed to have created the margarita.

A third story says that the margarita was invented in Ensenada, Mexico, by Margarita Sames, a wealthy socialite, during a house party she threw in 1948.[3] There are also claims that the margarita was invented independently in different places and at different times. Whatever its true origin, the margarita has become one of the most popular cocktails in the world.
