Cointreau vs Triple Sec in lead edit

The IBA version lists Cointreau, not Triple Sec, so should that be what it says in the lead sentence? Dlabtot (talk) 05:59, 28 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cointreau is a brand of triple sec, and not everyone uses that brand. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:21, 29 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Actually no, it is not a brand of triple sec. https://www.barnonedrinks.com/tips/dictionary/c/cointreau-343.html Dlabtot (talk) 21:56, 24 December 2018 (UTC)Reply


In 2018 the Jose Cuervo brand of tequila claimed, in a TV commercial (and probably in earlier advertising) it had originated the margarita, although I know of no recipe that emphasizes the use of Cuervo brand. I wish someone would address that claim. Sussmanbern (talk) 10:54, 24 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Controy origin story edit

This story should be removed. The only source for this is a press release from Controy. The German ambassador to Mexico was Heinrich Rudt, not "Henkel," as German Wikipedia makes plain. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_deutschen_Botschafter_in_Mexiko — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.37.78.193 (talk) 17:36, 16 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Glassware edit

The discussion of glassware in this article lacks citations and feels like OR. It also seems slanted toward how the drink is consumed in the US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reskusic (talkcontribs) 23:59, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it makes sense to mention glassware that margaritas don't go in (pint. etc.) in the lead, but rather just mention and desrcibe the margarita glass. Julyattitude (talk) 02:02, 10 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Non breaking spaces edit

@Roca486: MOS:UNITNAMES calls for a non-breaking space between a number and a unit symbol. See the table "General guidelines on use of units", row "Numeric values": "Use a non-breaking space ... between a number and a unit symbol". GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:19, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Popularity edit

This section is skewed toward American popularity, despite the lead claiming that it is the world's most popular cocktails. Consider adding popularity in other countries, especially Central and South America where tequila and margaritas are popular. EF1007 (talk) 21:52, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Damiana edit

I've heard many times that either a damiana-infused tequila or a damiana liquor had been used frequently in very early margarita recipes. Can someone familiar with this with any reliable sources on this topic add some expansion/explanation to the article? — al-Shimoni (talk) 05:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
