Another story places it’s creation at Spago Beverly Hills and in the purview of Wolfgamg Puck. Again, like with most cocktails we’ll probably never know. Regardless of how it cropped up, the Cadillac Margarita became the symbol of Lucury in many bars. If you ordered it you’d know thet you’d be getting a quality drink: 100% agave Tequila, not mixto, high end orange liqueur, etc. but over the years with the addition of fresh ingredients it’s largely become obsolete. We’l we think thats a bunch of hooey! Bring Back The Cadillac Margarita!
When the bar opened a location across the border, in San Antonio, Texas, in 1974, it became a sensation. In short order, there were Cadillac Bars in Houston, Dallas and Atlanta

You’re not awkward. Your bounce when you talk is adorable.
This looks like a good variation. I think the Cadillac moniker is earned by using Grand Marnier, since that's probably the Cadillac of orange liqueurs. I'm going to remember this drink as a Tommy's Margarita with a Grand Marnier float (served up).
"I'm going to remember this drink as a Tommy's Margarita with a Grand Marnier float (served up)." I was thinking the same thing. Especially since I just recently watched Cara Devine's episode about the Tommy's.
You mean a Tommy’s Cadillac?
"lets float some on top" continues to dump it straight in :D
I think the way I used to do them…when I actually had people order them more often was
2 reposado
1 lime
1/4 Cointreau
3/4 Grand Marnier (possibly 1/2) float
And shook with a healthy orange slice
Double strained over large cube.
We didn’t have agave syrup. That sounds right. My idea was to up the sweet with the Cointreau and I thought the subtle fresh orange was nice.
That's how I've always made margaritas for the missus. I didn't even know it had a different name. Herradura Repasado is the one I use.
I'm a big fan of splitting the lime with Robert Morgenthaler's lime cordial. Then, match that with orange curacao. Killer.
Haha, love the talk about people ordering Cadillac versions. I feel like sometimes when I ask guests if they have a preferred whiskey in their Old Fashioned (for example), all of a sudden they seem to feel like they HAVE to pick something "fancy". And of course I don't mind the upsell, but at the same time I want to tell them to go with our house, because it is good! Great episode!
Another good theory to test out on Freepour. Can you truly tell the difference between an expensive spirit vs non-expensive in a cocktail?
I remember seeing "Cadillac" margaritas on menus well before '89 in the S.F. Bay Area.
I love a good Margaritas made with fresh ingredients and 100% agave tequila. One of my favorite ways is to use Grand Marnier. I like how you made this one straight up. 😊
I would go with the Cadillac Bar story. Through my alcohol memories I was definitely drinking Cadillac margaritas well before 1989. Also went to Spago many times and the bar was not very innovative. One time I had to tell the bartender how to make a Manhattan.
I seem to recall "Cadillac Margarita's" being offered on menus of the So. Cal Mexican restaurants I went to back in the late 70's/early 80's.
I add a tinny tiny bit of salt and then shake. This is a beautiful drink and I make it at home all the time.
난 자막 없이 보지만 그래도 술 종류를 병만 보면 알아서 그래서 계속 본다
한국 유튜버 칵테일 영상은 볼건 다 봐서
외국 칵테일 영상으로 넘어왔는데 여기도 처음 보는 술 칵테일 등등을 봐서 좋다!!🙂
I found Shaker & Spoon about a month ago. I was looking for citrus oils to keep around for when I didn’t have fresh fruit, or when my fresh fruit is a little old and doesn’t express as much oil as I want. I bought lemon, orange, and grapefruit oil in squirt bottles and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Great products at a great price.
Whenever I make Cadillac Margs at the club I’m at now I do 1 1/2 oz Reposado tequila, 1 oz Grand Marnier, 1/2 oz lime juice. It should be pretty golden when it comes out
and easy to remember....
It’s probably worth noting that just because a tequila says 100% agave, it still may not be “quality”. Tequilas can still have glycerin or flavorings added without disclosing it, and can be made with diffusers or other shortcut methods that make a worse spirit. And you will taste the difference, even in a cocktail! So maybe paying a little extra for a “Cadillac” tequila is worth it to get a better tasting, honest tequila that doesn’t just taste like agave vodka
I love this presentation of a margarita!
I like it when you narrate what you grab and use etc
It’s a bad habit 😂
Leandro doing the Korean finger heart in the thumbnail killed me hahahah
Guess I must have been drinking Rolls Royce margaritas, since I used Añejo in my margaritas
Other than leaving out the salt, around here in Texas we call that "The Perfect Margarita". :) As a guy with a mustache, I'm not real big on the salted rim. For myself, and my friends, I tend to build our margaritas on the rocks, then float the salt on the ice cubes. It mixes as you drink it. A few of my friends like the salt shaken in the drink and served on the rocks. That's the fun of mixing drinks. Choices!! :)
That looks good. I've found that certain tequilas go best with certain orange liqueurs. I like Arrette Blanco and I like it best with Grand Marnier. I had used Cointreau with most tequilas but found a bit of an edge with Arette and more so with Clémont Créole Shrubb which is great but, for me, not with Arette. I just mix it 2-1-1 (or there about to taste) No agave required. Shake and dump. Yummy.
I prefer not only 100% agave but ADDITIVE FREE !
I remember drinking these in San Francisco in 1983, 84, and 85 at the Cadillac Bar & Grill located on Minna Street South of Market. I used to LOVE these. What I remember being different about them besides the Gran Marnier was the fresh lime. Almost all bars seemed to use margarita mix (theirs out purchased) in their regular margaritas. I honestly don't remember fresh juice being squeezed at any bar in the '80s. But then, I wasn't watching the bartender......
But I'll bet you do,
now.......
I know it's not traditional to use agave nectar in a Cadillac, but i think it makes it so much better. In my recipe, i do the same except use 0.5oz of the Cointreau/GM
Was drinking Cadillac Margaritas well before 1989. They were a thing in DC by 1981 or 82.
Still loving your work🙏
this is just the way i make my margarita ^^
It was I who created this drink. Yes I was 4 years old but I was a Prodigy.
Funny, just yesterday I tried out Difford's Million Dollar Margarita, which is quite similar to this. The Grand Marnier really elevates the whole thing, and whatever you want to call it, it is definitely a classier version.
Mor air quotes! Morrrrrr!
Cheers
I enjoy margaritas too much to try one of these. I would feel guilty for drinking it too fast 😅
SO many finger quotes!
Cadillac to me as evolved into meaning just a grandma floater on a marg
I really like the glassware. Where was it purchased from?
I am a huge fan of Margaritas and the Cadillac is a good one. I like the nuances. But I do agree quality ingredients make a fantastic Margaritas and Paying a price for top tier doesn't necessarily make the best drink, Bu the time you add the other ingredients much of the distinctiveness is removed. Unless you change to a Repasado or even en Anejo. However the Repasado works best in my opinion for a Cadillac.
It could be argued that much of the history of cocktail making was about taking cheaper spirits and making them shine in tandem with other ingredients. I don't mind using "premium" spirits every so often, but there's certainly a massive sense of diminishing returns, and I feel it sort of goes against the spirit of cocktail making.
@@jordanfield111 @Jordan Field Absolutey, Bringing out the best in every ingredient is the best best way. And the little nuances tthat you would get from an expensive bottle will be lost once you mix and diluted it.
Great video. I would argue that the amount of grand marnier used is a big factor here. The way you make it probably has a distinct flavor from variations where you use a full ounce. I’ve seen a few different ratios for a Cadillac and I’d bet they vary a bit.
great explanation
My money is on the second version
I base this in the fact that I remember my father ordering Cadillac margaritas in the mid 80s at a higher end Mexican restaurant in California
San Antonio and Just Across The Border are words only someone who's never been to Texas would say.
I’ve been to Texas….
@@TheEducatedBarfly San Antonio is further from Mexico that LA is.
If I’m going all out for a Cadillac Marg… 2 oz Don Julio, 1oz Gran Marnier, Agave, splash of OJ, Lime Juice, and garnish with a cinnamon sugar rim
Wow, I had to stop and say how cool I thought your intro was!!
Really good will try tonight. Can I ask have you made a Tom Collins video?
I think this will be my favorite margarita... Love grand Marnier ❤️
Oh man, thanks. I thought it was just me...
@@itsallaboutthecocktail 😄 it's only for connoisseur!
Could someone please tell me what the the tool is called he squeezed the lime with?
I sometimes order them at taquerias around here where it is usually just how you say please charge me two dollars more and dont use whatever mix that is mostly orange juice in that plastic jar in the well.
Herradura repo Sadi is my go to for the best margs
I tried the cadillac with all triple sec and the pierre one. Hate it 😄 Tommy's is my favorite 🤤
I disagree with that commenter! I don’t find you unorganized or hard to watch. That’s some crazy shit right there!
I have like 4 margarita recipes I need to try thanks to this channel... please stop (but not really, keep going)
He didn't find Patron. Patron was already being made by 7 Leguas. He only bought it from the people there and then started selling it as a premium tequila.
2023 Leandro would add saline solution!
Fair
I can see that bottle of El Tesoro 👀 great pick, usually sipped neat 👍👍
I feel like this drink deviates from a more original Cadillac Margarita recipe, which uses a blend of Cointreau and Grand Marnier, and did not necessarily use agave nectar. Recipe disagreement aside, I agree with your desire to bring back the Cadillac Margarita!
I'm of the belief that Grand Marnier doesn't belong anywhere near a margarita. It just kills the freshness of the drink whereas something like Pierre Ferrand, Cointreau, Combier, or Giffard's compliment the drink. I think it mostly has more to do with the strong cognac flavor of Grandma than anything.
But as I tell my guests, drink what you like. You're not wrong for liking things your bartender doesn't like.
Once I tried Pierre Ferrand in my Margret I couldn't go back.
I really love your juicer can I ask where you got it?
Yeah of course here’s a link: Shangpeixuan Manual Juicer: amzn.to/3rqWUGz
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! First human in!!!!
Interesting that this is basically a Tommy's served up with a GM float. My intuition would tell me to just make a standard Margarita and sub GM for Cointreau. Ever tried it that way?
Yeah I have and it’s great that way too!
So a
Tommy’s with a grand mariner float ?
Too bad the cocktail glasses aren't available. Do you know when they'll have them again?
they should be in stock soon. There were some delays with shipping
Grand Marniero is Señor Spielbergo of liqueurs
I this was one of the first times I've actually been excited and interested in a sponsor! I'm getting my license to become a bartender next month. Do you have any pointers on how to get a job?
I always thought that must've been a cool job.....
aside from the float, this is identical to a Tommy’s marg no? Is the idea just to use a higher expense repo?
Yeah pretty much. And no I wouldn’t say that either. Like I said the idea of a Cadillac is really kind of moot these days because Margaritas are now such high quality to begin with (at most places) the main thing is the addition of the Grand Marnier which will add a little more complexity to the finished drink
When I worked at T.G.I.Fridays I made a kerbillion of these. I never understood why you would float Grand Marnier on top of a well balanced cocktail
El Tesoro instead of Fortaleza? Doesn’t sound high end enough 😝
Must ask if not a orange/lime or bitter orange flavor salt rim could make the Cadillac Margarita even more Cadillacish? Or why not some pink Himalayan salt ;-) The salt would bring the sweet and sour taste even more I feel.
Yeah sure that sounds pretty Cadillac-y to me :)
Imagine calling Leandro awkward and painful to watch 😂.
Sounds like the kind of person who eats pizza with a fork and knife
😂
Damn, ur editing is spot on, You need to give me lessons..love the different shows & angles. I'm getting into that but few notice.( besides true followers, OK. I have a few.). I'm wondering if it's worth the work. Is it better to just put out content rather than take so long editing?
The other week I went into El Coyote in WeHo and ordered a Cadillac margarita. I swear to god they poured el jimador, gran marnier, and bottled lime juice directly into the glass over ice!! And it was $16!!!
The 16 bucks isn’t for the cocktail though you’re paying for the 50/50 chance that you’ll sit at the bar with Tarantino
@@TheEducatedBarfly is that one of his hangouts?
Great video! I often have extra lime and lemon juice left over after having people over. I've been told that you can freeze the juice and it will still be good. Does freezing the juice ruin it?
Stay tuned to our channel Barfly Freepour we just shot an episode on shelf stable citrus juices
I keep it in an airtight container and it lasts for a good couple of weeks, usually more. Cheers from Indiana!
@@davidcattin7006 Thank you!
I freeze lemon juice often and it’s fine.
👍👍👍
Can you let us know when those glasses get restocked? Wanna get my hands on some.
Yep. Will put in our community tab as soon as they’re back
Nice apron! Info on it?

Which is your favorite margarita Leandro? The classic, Tommy's, or the Cadillac?
Oh man do I really need to pick one? My favorite is taking a classic and mash it up with a Tommy’s so like 2oz tequila 1oz lime 1/2oz agave and 1/2oz Curaçao
What a weird place for a sponsored insert.
My bane is when someone orders a skinny marg.. to me, essentially a tequila Rickey, no sugar and basically 1/10 the calories. But a percent of guest think that means no sour mix.. 🤨 girl, there's no sour mix in this bar, so u just want a regular marg 💀
Tommy's margaritas are the bane of my existence; they may want a spec with orange liqueur and no extra sugar
This is 100% a regular occurrence here in Australia lol
Cadillac because of Cordon Rouge GM instead of Cordon Jaune GM?
Commenting for the Al gore rhythm
A really good Margarita needs a dash of Damiana
Hi,l want to invite you try our old-fashioned smoking cocktail set for free. Reply me to know more details if you are interested! Waiting for your reply!
Looks like the Grand Marnier sunk rather than floated :o) I use 43 in mine and shake it into the drink. Guess I've been making the Cadillac all along! Regards from Indiana!
Check the description recipe. Why is there an o in Grand Marnier?
Because it makes it even fancier 🎩
Personally I dont think that triple sec, or other orange liquors (with the exception of Gran Marnier) really compliment the tequila as much as Liquor 43 does. I try to replace triple sec with Liquor 43 in all my margaritas.
A little squashy-poo and squishy-pants, wait that sounded better in my head🤔
😂
Thanks man, Awesomeness! On a side note I’d like to do a shameless plug for a gentleman on RUclips that has a free pdf about fountain drinks, mostly no alcohol, a few do but no competition, his name is Darcy his channel is Art of the Drink the pdf is Fix the Pumps, maybe check him out when you can.
I’m very aware of him. Own his book and he’s a genius. Everybody that wants to learn advanced techniques should be following Darcy. I’ve used his recipes when I was running Coke’s and have tested several others. We should do a collab with him!
San Antonio isn't "just over the border" from Laredo. It's 157 miles away. That's like saying that Santa Clarita is just over the border from Tijuana.
isn't it?
You looked way too much into his comment about the border 😂
Oh man in my very modest(amateur)opinion it does matters to use high quality ingredients in a cocktail like this and pretty much in any classic cocktails I’ve been in many bars and….I can taste 👅the difference When they use cheap ingredients compare to what I make at my home with much better ones….for example using Cointreau or curacao to a cheap 5 dollars sirupy triple sec…
Yes I agree. The point I’m making in the video is that now as more and more are turn to quality ingredients as a base line offering has it made the “Cadillac Margarita” obsolete? But yes I agree about using quality ingredients 100%
@@TheEducatedBarfly thanks for share brother I’ve learned a lot with your videos I consider it one of the best on entire platform.
Haha that comment was some disgruntled Englishman. Don't worry, they're always a bit cranky over there...
You're not *_that_* awkward
😂 thanks
There are too many unripe limes on this channel...
Shouldn't it be a Mercedes Margarita? or a Lamborghini Margarita?
Cadillac Margarita would imply it's a dated, poorly constructed design only old people could want.
Super awkward in video ad placement. This was one of the first times in my RUclips subscriptions where your personal ad placement actually frustrated me. I always watch those ads, because I believe they support you more than RUclips's pre and post ads, but next time one pops up right as you take a drink I will probably skip it, fyi.
Way too many fake quotations in this video
I enjoy margaritas too much to try one of these. I would feel guilty for drinking it too fast 😅
