Let's take a look at this oft-told tales:
1. Daniel Negrete for his girlfriend, Margarita, whenn he was the manager of the Garci Crespo Hotel in Puebla, Maxico, 1936. Apparently Margarita liked to eat salt with ever she drank, so the salt rim made in unnecessary for her to keep reaching for the salt bowl
2. Vern Underwood, a tequila distributor for Jose Cuervo, made Johnnie Durlesser, a bartender of Los Angeles restaurant the Tail of the Cock, as being the man who re-created a drink he'd had in Mexico, dubbing it the Margarita.
3. Jazz musician Teddy Stauffer, among oters, attributed the drink to Margarita Sames of San Antonio, Texas. This claim was backed up by Helen Thompson, who wrote, in Texas Monthly magazine in 1991, that socialite Sames, noting that she didn't like weak drinks or weak men, claimed to have created the drink for Nicky Hilton - one of the Hotel Hilton, of course, and coincidentally, the owner of the Tail of the Cock at that time.
We can continue with these stories regarding the invention of the cocktail, but the most important thing is that, at some point in time, someone, somewhere, mixed this, and created one of the most iconic drinks of all times.
