The final product was poured into a Ralph Lauren hand-blown Hungarian crystal glass that can be taken home afterward.
Even the ice was made from $450 bottles of Lois Roederer Cristal Champagne. In 2013, 230 FIFTH Rooftop Bar & Penthouse Lounge in Manhattan baited partiers with a frozen margarita that used some incredibly high-end ingredients-the tequila alone cost $1800 a bottle. The drink had a similar recipe but was called Picador (a type of bullfighter). The very first print mention we can find of the drink (but not the name) comes from the 1937 book Café Royal Cocktail Book by William Tarling. He concocted the now-famous drink and named it after the showgirl, as Margarita is a Spanish version of the name Marjorie. She wanted a cocktail using the liquor, so Herrera began experimenting. Marjorie King, one of the showgirls there, was unable to drink any hard liquor but tequila. This is probably not true, though: The first importer of Jose Cuervo used the tagline "Margarita: it's more than a girl's name" in 1945-three years before Sames debuted her drink.Īnother story is that a man named Danny Herrera made the drink in his Tijuana restaurant in the '30s or '40s (accounts vary). One of her party guests was Tommy Hilton, who added the drink to the bar menu at his hotels. The most widely spread rumor is that an American socialite named Margarita Sames created the drink for her friends in 1948. No one is quite sure who invented the margarita, but there are a lot of theories.
