Notes
For a 12-serving pitcher, stir together 3 cups tequila, 1 ½ cups Grand Marnier and 1 ½ cups lime juice.
Cadillac margaritas traditionally don’t call for sweetener. However, if you prefer a little extra sweetness, add 1 ounce of simple syrup or agave nectar.
Pick limes that give in when you squeeze them. This ensures they’re nice and juicy.
Before juicing the lime, firmly roll it on the countertop a few times to help get the juice flowing.
The best mixing technique is to use two hands while shaking. This helps ensure you get enough vigorous force behind the shake.
