The Key to Making a Perfect Cadillac Margarita
High-quality ingredients make this Cadillac margarita irresistible. Orange liqueur adds a layer of complex sweetness that plays off the lime’s tart flavor, but it’s the rested tequila that makes this cocktail a star. Código 1530 Reposado is rested for six months in charred French White Oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels, which give it smoky oak flavor. Layers of bright agave, tart citrus, and warm vanilla come together to create an opulent, delicious cocktail.
Creative presentation enhances this premium drink. Classic margaritas are served with a salt rim, but experimenting with different garnishes can add flavor and flair to your Cadillac margarita. Consider what aspects of the drink you’d most like to highlight as you choose a rim. To emphasize Reposado’s smoky notes, for example, consider a smoked sea salt rim. For an earthier sip, look to crushed aromatic herbs, like basil or thyme. The best garnish enhances your margarita’s look and its flavor.
