Cadillac Margarita

2 oz Blanco or Reposado Tequila
1 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Grand Marnier
1/4 oz Agave Syrup

Combine all ingredients into a shaker, add ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled old fashioned glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.

PS - If you like your glass rim salted, prepare as follows BEFORE you add ice to the glass: rim the glass with a lime wedge and dip into a plate covered with coarse sea salt flakes.

Whether you choose a Blanco or Reposado tequila is a matter of personal preference. Just make sure that for the recipe, select the best that you can afford. After all, Cadillac Margaritas involve selecting all top shelf liquors; which is why we’re using Grand Marnier instead of Triple Sec.
