History of the Daisy cocktail
The Marguerite belongs to the large family of alcoholic cocktails made with citrus and neutral spirits, here vodka, softened by orange, lemon and a touch of grenadine. Since its origin is unknown, it should be placed in a broader context: that of modern mixed drinks that favor a balance between freshness, acidity and sweetness, with a presentation that is often colorful and approachable.
What defines it above all is its very clear flavor profile: lemon brings acidic tension, orange adds fruitiness, while grenadine contributes a sweet, slightly syrupy note, as well as a recognizable red or pink hue. The crushed ice and ice cubes reinforce its refreshing character, bringing it closer to cocktails enjoyed in summer or at festive occasions. The Marguerite thus fits into a cocktail culture that is simple, visually appealing and broadly accessible, where alcohol serves as a discreet base for a strongly fruit-forward expression.
