There are many versions of the
inception of the margarita. Here are just a few:
In the early 1930's, it was created at the Caliente Race Track in Tijuana.
In 1936, Danny Negrete invented this drink for his girlfriend, Margarita, while
working at the Garci Crespo Hotel.
In 1938 or 1939, Carlos Hererra invented this drink for Marjorie King, who
apparently couldn't drink any hard liquor except Tequila without getting sick.
(Some stories will call him "Danny Hererra", apparently confusing him with
Danny Negrete).
On the 4th of July, in 1942, a customer asked Francisco "Pancho" Morales for a
"Magnolia", but he couldn't remember exactly how to make it, so he made
something up, and named it the "Daisy" instead (which in Spanish translates to
Margarita).
Sometime in the 1940's, Enrique Bastante Gutierez created this drink for Rita
Hayworth, who's real name was Margarita.
In 1948 it was created in Galveston, Texas by Santos Cruz. Who mixed it up for
singer Peggy Lee.
In the early 1950's It was created at the "Tail o' the Cock" restaurant in Los
Angeles in order to find a way to introduce Jose Cuervo tequila into the
market.
