Today you can find a margarita made in 100 different ways with even more rim options. The margarita has been elevated for those who want to take their taste buds on a different journey. 

According to Nationalday.com, "the earliest occurrence of the famed cocktail was in 1938 by the father of the drink Carlos "Danny" Herrera. He made it in his restaurant located in Baja California for a famous customer."

But he wasn't the only one who claimed to be the "OG" margarita maker," Margarita Sames, a Dallas "higher class" citizen, believed she created the drink in her vacation home for her guests in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1948. Tommy Hilton (yes… that Hilton), who was friends with Margarita attended the party and then brought it back to his hotel chains and put it on the menu."
