Happy Sip on Cinco de Mayo!
Granted, this isn’t as a big day in Mexico as it is in some parts of the U.S., but we can’t let an excuse to raise a margarita in the interests of patriotism go by. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French on May 5, 1862, despite being outnumbered.
The Margarita
The history of the margarita is less succinctly recorded. It was possibly created in 1938 for Ziegfeld Folly dancer Marjorie King, who was allergic to other spirits. Or it was for another showgirl, Rita de la Rosa. Or maybe for one Margarita Henkel, daughter of the German ambassador, on July 4, 1942. But, really, does it matter? Regardless of the conflicting creation stories, the tequila-orange liqueur-lime elixir is a showcase for each of its elements: the earthy distilled agave, the blossom-scented liqueur, and the crisp burst of citrus that manages to slice through its companions while uniting with them at the same time. When it comes to the religion of cocktails, this counts as a holy trinity not to be trifled with.
So, the next time you raise a glass of this divine concoction, remember its storied past, but also embrace the here and now. Toast to the adventures yet to come and the memories yet to be made, all with the margarita as a faithful companion. Cheers to the timeless allure of this beloved cocktail!
