The Margarita was originally created when Dallas socialite Margarita Sames mixed her two favorite spirits, Cointreau and tequila, together with lime juice while on vacation in Acapulco back in 1948. This original Margarita recipe with triple sec has stood the test of time for over 75 years. Using Cointreau orange liqueur for margarita recipes makes your drink as authentic as it was created back in 1948.
