Recipe Notes

Tips on making the Cadillac margarita

• Use the BEST ingredients you can afford.  Premium ingredients equal a more delicious drink
• Always make your own sweet and sour.  I prefer a 2:1 ratio, so two parts sour to one part sweet.  Start there and if you decide you want it sweeter, add a bit more simple syrup
• Always serve the Grand Marnier on the side, especially when you serve to guests.  They're quite impressed when they pour the shot into the Cadillac margarita themselves
• Salt the rim, but don't overdo it!  Sometimes, after I salt the rim, I take my finger and clear a spot so if someone doesn't want to taste the salt they can use that spot to sip
• Do NOT pour the liquid in such a way that it hits the salt.  You do not want to wash salt into the cocktail
