Cadillac Margarita

Cadillac Margarita
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 ½ ounces best quality tequila reposado
  • 1 ounce Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1 ounce Grand Marnier
  • Kosher salt or flaky sea salt, for the rim
  • For the garnish: lime wedge
HOW TO PREPARE
  • Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt (or margarita salt).
  • Place 1 ½ oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau and 1 oz lime juice in a cocktail shaker, add 4 ice cubes, and shake until cold.
  • Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Then carefully pour 1 oz Grand Marnier onto the top of the drink over an inverted spoon. Serve immediately, straight up in a margarita glass or on the rocks in a lowball glass with clear ice.

Cadillac Margarita TIPS

Layer the Grand Marnier & Perfect the Rim

To get a flawless float, pour the Grand Marnier slowly over the back of an inverted spoon so it rests delicately atop the margarita for a gorgeous layered effect. For the rim, try a mix of flaky sea salt and a touch of smoked paprika or lime zest—it adds a subtle smoky or citrus kick that complements the rich tequila and orange liqueurs beautifully.
