Ingredients
- 1.5 oz. tequila, reposado (3 Tbsp.)
- 1 oz. 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier (2 Tbsp.)
- ¾ oz. lime juice freshly squeezed (1 ½ Tbsp.)
- ¼ oz. agave nectar (2 tsp.)
- ice
- salt optional
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker or a large glass mason jar half full with ice and then pour in the tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice, and agave nectar.
- Shake for 10-20 seconds, or until the drink is well mixed and the shaker is chilled.
- If you’d like a strong margarita, serve immediately so the ice does not melt. If you’d prefer a weaker margarita, let the shaker sit for a minute or two, shake again for 5-10 seconds, and then serve.
Cup of Yum
For a Salted Rim:
- Quarter a lime and cut a slice down the center. Rub the lime wedge around the edge of the margarita glass.
- Fill a small plate with salt at least ⅛ to ¼-inch thick. Dip the juice-coated glass into the salt, spinning it around to coat all sides evenly.
- Pour the Cadillac margarita drink into the glass, being careful not to disrupt the salted rim and garnish with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
