The '' Cafe Royal Cocktail Book'', published in the UK in 1937, contains a recipe for a Picador using the same concentrations of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice as a margarita. One of the earliest stories is of the margarita being invented in 1938 by Carlos "Danny" Herrera at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, halfway between

Cesena was a ranch operator by trade, and it is disputed whether she was the daughter of a German ambassador as the story claims.
