Is there a link between margarita cocktail and margherita pizza? [closed]
They sound the same, but is there any link between margarita cocktail and margherita pizza?
Solution 1:
Raffaele Esposito is said to have named margherita pizza after Queen Margherita of Savoy, although research suggests this legend may be false.
The margarita cocktail, however, has a number of stories regarding its origin, including being named after:
- Marjorie King
- Margarita Henkel
- Margarita Sames
- Peggy (Margaret) Lee
- An American drink called Tequila Daisy (Margarita is Spanish for Daisy)
The only apparent link here is that they both derive from the Spanish & Italian equivalents of the name Margaret.
