Margaritas became popular in the United States around Prohibition, a time during which many Americans traveled to Mexico to drink. This famously sweet, sour and salty drink tastes amazing frozen or on the rocks, tequila or mezcal, fruity or spicy or fizzy or creamy, you name it – it works! But we love the classic, especially when you use a high-quality tequila- the flavor is unforgettable.
