Margarita
With an uncertain history the Margarita is believed to be related to the Brandy Daisy. In 1936 Iowa newspaper editor James Graham found such a cocktail in Tijuana, years before other creation myths. The Cafe Royal Cocktail Book, published in 1937 in UK contains a recipe for a Picador using the same concentrations of ingredients.
