One of the most popular drinks in the U.S., this refreshing cocktail originated in Mexico and was discovered by Americans in the early 1920s. Stories differ on how it came to be, but the name gives a hint: Margarita is Spanish for "daisy," a flower, but also once a variety of mixed drinks consisting of a spirit plus citrus and a sweetener.
Instructions:
Step 1
In a medium pitcher, combine tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau. If desired, rub the rims of 4 glasses with a lime slice and dip in salt and lime zest to coat.
Step 2
Add ice and pour the margarita on top. Serve with lime slices.
