Legend has it that in the late 1940's, a showgirl named Marjorie King stopped by a watering hole near Tijuana, and she had a drinking "problem" of sorts: she was allergic to every form of booze except tequila, which she needed mixed. Among the many tequila experiments that the bartender had tried was a concoction consisting of 3 parts white tequila, 2 parts Cointreau, and 1 part fresh lemon juice. These he shook together in a container of shaved ice, then served up in a short stemmed glass rimmed with lemon juice and salt. This she liked, so he gave the drink the Spanish name for Marjorie: Margarita... and rest is history!
