Method
Rim Preparation
- 1
Margarita Base
- 2
Muddle (spicy option)
If making the spicy version, place jalapeño slices in the shaker and gently muddle 2–3 times to release bright heat. For less heat, remove seeds before muddling or use 1–2 slices.
- 3
Add blanco tequila (2 oz), orange liqueur (1 oz), fresh lime juice (1 oz), and simple syrup (0.5 oz) into a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice.
- 4
If adding flavor (+$1), add 0.5 oz of your chosen fruit puree or flavored syrup into the shaker.
- 5
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.
- 6
Fill the prepared serving glass with fresh ice (if not already filled). Fine-strain or double-strain the shaken margarita into the glass to remove jalapeño solids and pulp if you muddled jalapeño or used puree.
Cadillac Float
- 7
For the signature Cadillac touch, gently float 0.5 oz añejo or reposado tequila on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon so it layers on the drink. This is optional but recommended for depth and aroma.
