When you want to take your Taco Tuesday to the next level of luxury, the Cadillac Margarita is your golden ticket. Smooth, citrusy, and finished with a splash of Grand Marnier, this cocktail is a true icon — and with El Jimador Tequila as the star, it’s as bold and refreshing as a seaside sunset.
✨ Why It’s Called a “Cadillac” Margarita
The Cadillac Margarita gets its name because it’s the “top-shelf” version of a margarita — richer, smoother, and a little more indulgent. The secret is the float of Grand Marnier, an orange liqueur that adds depth and a velvety, citrus-kissed finish.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 oz El Jimador Reposado Tequila
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz premium orange liqueur
- ½ oz agave nectar (adjust to taste)
- ½ oz Grand Marnier (to float on top)
- Ice
- Lime wedge, for garnish
- Salt, for rimming the glass (optional)
🥂 Instructions
- Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass.
Dip the rim into a small plate of salt for that classic margarita finish.
- Mix the Margarita
In a shaker, combine El Jimador tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar.
Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well-chilled.
- Serve & Float
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
Gently pour the Grand Marnier over the back of a spoon so it floats on top, creating that signature “Cadillac” layer.
- Garnish & Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wedge or an orange wheel.
