Step up your margarita game with the Cadillac Margarita: it uses top-shelf tequila and Grand Marnier liqueur to add sophistication and style!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 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

Instructions

  1. 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 for a festive look, use our Margarita Salt).
  2. Place tequila, Cointreau and lime juice in a mixing glass and fill with 4 ice cubes. Shake until cold.
  3. Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Then carefully pour the Grand Marnier onto the top of the drink over an inverted spoon (it will float on top, then gradually sinks to the bottom over time). Serve straight up in a margarita glass or on the rocks in a lowball glass with clear ice, garnished with a lime wedge.

Notes

To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons

Sweet variation: If you prefer a margarita on the sweeter side, add a hint of simple syrup or agave nectar, to taste (start with 1 teaspoon).

Rim variations: Try margarita salt, a chili lime salt rim for a spicy kick, or a Tajín rim.
