Margarita

Invented between 1936 and 1948 (origin still disputed), the Margarita is the world's most ordered cocktail. A blend of tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice served in a salt-rimmed glass, it drives demand for over 185,000 tons of tequila consumed annually. From frozen blended versions to mezcal riffs, its variations are endless. It outperforms the Martini in global order frequency by 35%, solidifying its top rank among casual drinkers.
