Let's celebrate the 70th anniversary of the original margarita cocktail!

The original margarita was created in Acapulco in 1948 by Margaret Sames, known for hosting notoriously lavish parties with extravagant twists. She created a new cocktail for one of her parties by mixing two of her favourite spirits: tequila and Cointreau, a liqueur crafted using sweet and bitter orange peel essences.
An immediate success, the drink came to be known as a “Margarita” and has gone on to become a staple.
