While the inventor of the first Margarita remains up for (lively) debate, there’s a general consensus that the birthdate spanned sometime between the late 1930s and early ‘40s, and occurred somewhere along the Mexican and U.S. border. But regardless of the parentage or origin, one thing we all seem to agree on is that the bright, citrusy Margarita reigns as one of the most beloved cocktails in America, and it is unarguably the most popular pour when celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

Often mistaken as Mexico’s Independence Day (that’s actually celebrated on Sept. 16), Cinco de Mayo honors the day in 1862 when Mexican forces, outnumbered two to one, forced the French to retreat after they attempted to storm the city of Puebla. The battle didn’t mark the end of the French-Mexican War (1861-1867) but it did represent a moral victory for Mexico.

And while the celebration of Cinco de Mayo precedes the Margarita by nearly three-quarters of a century, the origins of Camarena Tequila date back to 1761 in Jalisco, Mexico. As such, the traditional Margarita made with Camarena Silver makes the perfect recipe blueprint as you raise a glass on May 5.

For those who can appreciate the time-honored Camarena Margarita but are looking for a little something extra, we’ve got you covered. Here are five easy ways to elevate this classic, from herbaceous additions to creative flavor combinations.
