Mrs. Margarita Sames
38 Locust Street
Dallas, Texas, E.U.
Dear Margarita Sames,
I hear of the two-week fiesta at your Acapulco villa last magnificent Christmas, and hear who attends, John Wayne, Fred MacMurray, Lana Turner and Mr. Hilton, senor of great wealth in hotels. There are many words flying, flying that your friends of moving pictures enjoy much “your creative”, a drink of my country’s tequila, the juices of lime, and sweet orange liquor. And salt spun a circle of the rim glass.
Margarita Sames, I say I am the true creation of the Margarita drink! And shall I tell its story?
Keeping bar I was eleven years ago at Rosarita Beach, as I do this night. The name of bar Rancho Gloria and we see many amigos from your United States. I tell this so you know!
One midnight I hear a voice “Make for me a drink especial, with tequila, sweet and salt! Por favor, pronto!” I look up. It is the mouthful of a young Americana of great beauty and stories of mystery, whose name I remember Marjorie King and what is called a show girl. I make drink same as you, Margarita Sames, yet eleven years ago!
I name it Margarita for the beautiful senorita, and I make another and the next night for her, too, and many more drinks and many more nights! Until time steals her beauty and the senorita come back to California, to make a new profession, maybe?
Margarita Sames, I beg not one peso of your fantastic wealth! I tell this story so you know!
