Margarita
Tequila is shaken with lime juice and orange liqueur over ice, poured into a salt-rimmed glass, either straight up or blended with ice.
Where it comes from
The margarita's exact origin is disputed, with several bartenders in Mexico and the United States claiming to have invented it in the 1930s and 1940s; none of the stories can be confirmed.
What cooks argue about
The split is ratio and format: a classic shaken margarita on the rocks versus a blended, frozen one, and how much triple sec to lime, which shifts it from tart to sweet.
Versions
Nobody has published a margarita here yet. When somebody cooks one from a video and publishes it, their version appears in this list, with a link back to the original.
