Cinco de Mayo Party Drinks – the Margarita

Margaritas are practically the national drink of Mexico. Some say the drink was created in a Mexican bar for a showgirl who was allergic to all kinds of alcohol except tequila. Others attribute its start to a Dallas socialite named Marjorie Sames at a Christmas party in her Acapulco home in the 1940’s.
