While the name has fallen out of fashion, you’ve likely sampled a version of this classic cocktail. The Daisy has had many forms over the decades, but the most famous one is simply known by the word’s Spanish translation – Margarita.

When it comes to cocktail categories, there are few as old as the Flip. They date back to the earliest days of mixed drinks, first appearing in England around the early 1600s.
