Ingredients: – 2 oz top-shelf reposado tequila (like Don Julio or Patrón) – 1 oz Grand Marnier (for that signature Cadillac touch) – 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice – ½ oz agave syrup (optional for sweetness)
– Ice (for shaking and serving) – Coarse salt (for rimming the glass) – Lime wedge (for garnish)
Instructions: 1. Prepare the Glass – Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it in coarse salt. Fill with fresh ice.
Mix the Margarita – In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
Strain & Serve – Strain the margarita into the prepared glass over ice.
Float the Grand Marnier – Slowly pour Grand Marnier over the top so it gently floats, adding a rich, orange-flavored finish.
Garnish & Enjoy – Add a lime wedge and serve immediately.
