Fun times three with Chili's 'Rita Trio'
Thinking of a fantastic night out with friends? Then, perhaps some good food with the widely popular and perfectly concocted Chili’s Margaritas is the way to go!
Know more about the Margarita
There are various opinions as to the true origins of this sought-after cocktail, a mosaic of tequila and Cointreau, lemon and lime juice, with salt on the glass rim,
Some say that it was in 1938 near Tijuana, Mexico when Carlos “Danny†Herrera concocted the drink for a dancer named Marjorie King. Some tales point to Francisco "Pancho" Morales as the inventor of this drink in the El Paso-Juarez area in 1942. Still others say it was Van Under who first imported Jose Cuervo to the USA and promoted the drink through this tagline: “Margarita: It's More Than a Girl's Name"
The popular belief though is that the Margarita was invented in 1948 by Dallas socialite, Margarita Sames, during a party at her vacation home in Acapulco. Her guests included Tommy Hilton who added the drink to the beverage menu in his hotel chain.
Also, as a tribute to this drink, February 22 was declared as the annual National Margarita Day in some parts of the world. In Mexico and in the USA, the famed Cinco de Mayo is one of the much-celebrated festivals where lots of margaritas are consumed.
The Margarita remains one of the most popular and enduring alcoholic drinks concocted, transcending geographical boundaries and reaching many countries around the world. It is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the USA.
