The Margarita is the undisputed queen of tequila cocktails, believed to have originated in Mexico in the late 1930s. Its perfect balance of tart lime, sweet orange liqueur, and earthy tequila has made it one of the most popular cocktails in the world. Best served with a salt-rimmed glass for that signature contrast.
