Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hussong’s really the birthplace of the Margarita?

That’s the claim — and it’s one of the most credible origin stories in cocktail history. The legend holds that Hussong’s Cantina bartender Don Carlos Orozco created the Margarita in 1941 for Margarita Henkel, the daughter of the German ambassador to Mexico, mixing tequila, Damiana liqueur, and lime over ice. The Ensenada claim is disputed by several other origin stories, but Hussong’s Cantina’s 1892 founding and deep Baja heritage give it strong cultural standing.

Where is Hussong’s Tequila produced?

The liquid is crafted in Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave — the same agave and the same production region as most premium tequila brands. The brand’s cultural identity is rooted in Baja California and Hussong’s Cantina in Ensenada, where the original bar has been operating continuously since 1892.
