The Margarita is the ultimate party starter, and for good reason. This beloved tequila classic dates back to the 1930s or '40s, with origins as hazy as a night of one too many. A perfect balance of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, the Margarita is tart, smooth, and endlessly customizable—whether served on the rocks, frozen, or with a salt rim. It’s the go-to cocktail for beach days, taco nights, and anytime you need a little sunshine in a glass.
