BIG DADDY CADDY RECIPES

Steps:

• Shake tequila, triple sec, sweet and sour mix, and lime juice with ice. (my hubby does a dance move--it's very humorous).
• Take margarita glass or any preferred glass and dip in lime juice to coat rim.
• Next dip into kosher salt or margarita salt (I'm pretty sure they are the same) until coated.
• Pour cocktail in dropping a few ice cubes to have an "on-the-rocks" feel.
• Float Grand Marnier on top.
• Add straw and garnish with lime.
