![]() ![]() Another popular variation comes from a 1953 issue of Esquire magazine, by suggesting using triple sec in place of Cointreau. ![]() A popular variation substitutes Cointreau for blue curacao for a “ blue margarita”. Variations of the margarita don’t stem too far from its basic ingredients. As legend goes, bartender Santos Cruz created the drink for the singer Peggy Margaret Lee in 1948 at the Balinese Room and named the drink after the Spanish variation of her name. The third creation myth comes from Galveston, Texas. ![]() Hernandez is remembered as introducing the drink to popularity in the 1947 La Plaza restaurant in La Jolla, California. The drink was reportedly made for Majorie King, a Ziegfeld dancer. The bartenders claimed it was Herrera who invented the drink in the Rancho La Gloria Hotel in between Tijuana and Rosarita, Mexico. Orozco decided to serve the mixture to the woman, named Margarita Henkel, and give the drink her name.Īnother origination story was spread by bartenders Carlos “Danny” Herrera and Albert Hernandez. This rendition states that during a slow day in Orozco’s bar, Hussong’s Cantina, in Ensenada, Mexico, the daughter of a German ambassador walked in while Orozco was experimenting with new drink mixtures.

Their Christian predecessors had endured torture and death (as well as inflicted it) in order to set up a theocracy. The known martyrs-those who actually, voluntarily sought death and rejoiced in the fact-had been the kamikaze pilots, immolating themselves to propitiate a 'divine' emperor who looked (as Orwell once phrased it) like a monkey on a stick. Many brave and now dead soldiers had nonetheless been conscripts. In order to know that a person had truly laid down his life for his friends, or comrades, one would have to hear it from his own lips, or at least have heard it promised in advance.
