Cinco De Mayo cocktail history dates back to the late 1800s when a man named Robert E. Lee created a drink called "El Capitan". He served this drink at his bar located in Waco, Texas. It was made with tequila, orange juice, grenadine and pineapple. In 1937 El Capitan became popular in Hollywood as it was used as the theme song for the movie "El Capitan" starring John Wayne. In 1943 an American bartender invented a cocktail called "Margarita" which was made with Tequila and Triple Sec.
