BEST CADILLAC MARGARITA RECIPE EVER RECIPES

Steps:

• Chill The Cocktail Glass: Prep the cocktail glass by filling it with ice water then set it aside until ready to use.
• Make The Crushed Ice: Wrap a handful of ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel or in a ice bag, and, using a rolling pin or mallet, tap on it until all the ice is broken up and crushed into pieces ranging from pea-sized to snowflake sized.
• Shake The Margarita: place the tequila, lime juice, agave, and orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake well until chilled and frosty, about 15 to 20 seconds.
• Serve The Cadillac Margarita: Right before you going to serve the drink, discard the ice water, rub the rim with the end of the lime then dip it in salt, pressing to adhere. Strain the margarita into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice (with a salted rim, if desired). Garnish with a few slices of the lime and serve.

Steps:

• Pour a thin line of kosher salt on a plate. Rub lime slice around outside rim of martini glass to wet rim with lime juice. Turn martini glass sideways and roll the rim in the line of kosher salt.
• Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add fresh lime juice, tequila, and triple sec. Shake very well.
• Pour shaken mixture into the salt-rimmed martini glass, leaving all ice in the shaker.
• Slowly pour the 1/2 ounce of Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Gran Gala on top.
• Garnish with lime slice on rim and lime peel twist/curl in drink.
• Enjoy the purists' margarita. :).
