Why are margaritas called margaritas? A woman allegedly ordered a “magnolia” in 1942 while Pancho Morales was serving her at Tommy’s Place in Juarez, Mexico. The only component of the drink that Morales could recall was cointreau. He added tequila and gave the new mixture the Spanish name “margarita,” which means “daisy” in English.
