A little margarita history for you on this Cinco de Mayo:
Frozen margaritas, blended with ice, became popular in the 1950s along with other tropical drinks. By the 1970s, the margarita had surpassed the martini as the most popular American cocktail.
In 1971, Dallas restaurant owner Mariano Martinez noticed that ordinary blenders did not deliver a consistent mix for frozen margaritas. Inspired by the 7-Eleven Slurpee machine, Martinez and a friend, Frank Adams, tinkered with Martinez's dad's recipe and adapted a soft-serve ice-cream machine to make margarita "slush." The novelty was a huge hit.

Well, in Pennsylvania you still have to go to a State Store for most of your liquor. However, I have seen some larger grocery stores with restraints in them having liquor licences and selling packaged bears and wines.
