We keep a box on hand in the house at all times so we can have a big bowl whenever we feel like it. We also like to get creative with it, which is how we came up with Fruity Pebbles fudge.

Recently, I thought to myself, “Self, do you know what would be good? A Fruity Pebbles cocktail. How can we make that happen?”

After mulling it over for a bit and throwing some ideas around with my husband, we came up with a fruity margarita cocktail that features some delicious adult beverages and, of course, Fruity Pebbles. It is so legit, you guys.

The Road to Our Fruity Margarita (No Driving Occurred)

If you can find something better than a delicious, boozy cocktail with the flavors of raspberry, ginger ale, Fruity Pebbles, and even a bit of vanilla frosting, we’d love to hear about it. This rainbow-colored cocktail is just as much fun to look at as it is to drink, but we wouldn’t have it if it weren’t for two things: Fruity Pebbles and margaritas. So let’s take a brief look at the history of both.

The History of Fruity Pebbles

Fruity Pebbles are one of the most delicious examples of commercialism and marketing that has ever existed. That’s right, this delicious cereal was 100% pure marketing.

In 1971, Fruity Pebbles Cereal debuted to attract and satisfy young fans of the popular cartoon The Flintstones (1960-1966) and movies that followed. Along with Cocoa Puffs, Fruity Pebbles was part of a cereal duo intended solely as a cash grab to capitalize on the popularity of The Flintstones.

The working name for the cereal was Rubble Stones, but Fruity Pebbles was later used to better reflect the product. I’m so glad a corporate office somewhere decided to do a cereal tie-in.

And so, Fruity Pebbles, and their delicious cousin, Cocoa Pebbles, were born. Thank goodness for corporate America. Without them, we’d never have been able to enjoy this delicious, fruity cereal!

The History of the Margarita

The history of the margarita is a murky one. There are many stories surrounding the origin of the classic cocktail, but one thing remains true throughout all variations on the theme. It was born out of the prohibition movement.

The margarita is related to a popular Mexican cocktail called the Daisy. In fact, Margarita is Spanish for daisy. Most food and spirits historians agree that the margarita was the result of Americans discovering the Daisy after traveling south of the border for alcohol while prohibition was still in effect.

One popular story regarding the creation of the margarita is that it was invented in 1938 by Carlos “Danny ” Herrera at his restaurant, Rancho La Gloria, located just about halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito. The legend goes that Danny created the dring for former Ziegfeld dancer, Marjorie King, who was allergic to almost all spirits besides tequila.

There are several other stories of the first creation of the margarita floating around out there, as well, but while we don’t know for sure who made the cocktail, we do know that the other stories are false. That’s because they all claim to have first made the cocktail at some point after first mentions of the cocktail were made in recipe books, and in one case, after ad campaigns for the margarita were already in print.

Whoever made it and where ever they made it, one thing’s for sure. The margarita is one of the most popular cocktails out there for a very good reason. It’s good!
