    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.

    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.

    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!

  • @dallasshatel566
    @dallasshatel566 2 года назад +5

    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 bought lemon, orange, and grapefruit oil in squirt bottles and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Great products at a great price.

    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......

    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 !

    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!! :)

  • @DSnyderBartend
    @DSnyderBartend 2 года назад +8

    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.

    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.

    • @jordanfield111

      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.
