The Margarita cocktail was created by Texan socialite Margaret Sames at a house party in Mexico in the 1940s... Or it was by a Mexican restaurant owner who mixed it first for showgirl Marjorie King? Or is the true story that it was created during a show by Rita Hayworth (whose real name was Margarita Casino) in Tihuana?

While the origin of the Margarita may be contested, there’s one thing we can all agree on: it's one of the greatest cocktails ever created. To celebrate International Margarita Day on February 22, we’ve put together 10 of Kaddy Marketplace’s top-selling margs and a tequila for good measure.

Product: La Gritona Reposado Tequila
Supplier: Bibendum Wine Co

This tequila is great on it’s own or in a Tommy’s Margarita. La Gritona' is Spanish for 'The Screamer'. It's an appropriate name seeing that one of the people behind this outstanding tequila is LA-based punk guitarist Andy Coronado. The other significant player is the renowned tequilero Melly Cárdenas, who fashions La Gritona at her small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco. One of Mexico's few female master distillers, the fiercely independent Cárdenas--who has 20 years of quality Tequila production under her belt--shares Coronado's love of the exceptional and unconventional, and leads a team staffed by only local women.
