MARGARITA
The first frozen margarita machine was invented in 1971 and it was based on a soft-serve ice cream machine.
The Margarita was the most popularly ordered drink in 2008, representing 18 percent of all mixed drink sales in the U.S.
The original Margarita was invented in 1948 by socialite Margarita Sames. According to the legend it was during a party at her cliffside hacienda in Acapulco that Margarita began experimenting with “the drink”. Looking for something to cut the dust of a hot afternoon, she mixed Tequila Herradura, Cointreau and fresh lime juice. Her cocktail kept the party going for two weeks and today the Margarita is the #1 most popular cocktail in the U.S.
