The Martini has been celebrated in Bond films, and the Cosmopolitan in the Sex and the City series. Unlike other iconic cocktails, the Margarita has no film or TV show attached as a pop culture memory. The memorable one is in the film Practical Magic where the 'witches' rustle up margaritas in a blender. But the classic cocktail with origins in Mexico continues to rule over bars and everyone's imaginations. With a refreshing blend of tequila, fresh lime, and triple sec, margaritas balance out the sour, sweet, and salty. It represents the umami flavours of the drinks world. Here's a look at the stories behind the Margarita.
