Margaritas

Although no one really knows who invented this beloved libation, the margarita became popular among American tourists in Mexico during Prohibition. The American tradition of mixing drinks and Mexico's treasured spirit, Tequila, were interwoven to make this classic drink. Margarita — a toast to you!
