Silver Cadillac Margarita is a simple cocktail with a perfect balance of 5 special ingredients. Serve on the rocks or sip it with a straw. Either way, it will go great with any Mexican style meal or holiday.

Silver Cadillac Margarita is a simple cocktail that is pale lime green and is pour in a flared glass with ice cubes. A thin lime slice is on the glass edge against a black surrounding.

I have quite an imagination. Especially when it comes to making recipes. This one just sounded so good if I could pull it off. Guess what? It’s my new favorite margarita.

Not only that – check out further on down the page because I made a simple syrup with coconut palm sugar and created another drink.

I call it the Copper Cadillac Margarita.

Maybe that’s my new favorite. When I had my husband taste the syrup all he said was yummm in a long soft voice.

And … excuse me please but I like them strong. This is a full 8 ounce Silver Cadillac Margarita cocktail so sip on it and enjoy the flavors.

It’s a fantastic precursor to any Mexican style meal or celebration.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces simple syrup - see below
  • 1 ounce triple sec
  • 1 ounce lime juice - fresh squeezed
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • sea salt - coarse, for the rim, optional

Instructions

  • I slice a couple of small slices through the center of the lime before I squeeze the lime for it's juice. Then I have a pretty garnish. This is optional.
  • Pour all of the measurements into a one cup measuring cup (not the salt). Stir.
  • Sprinkle some sea salt into a sauce so that it will hit the rim of your glass when you dip it down.
  • Take a bit of your leftover lime and run it around the rim of your cocktail glass.
  • Go straight down, rim first, and dip it into the sea salt.
  • Flip it over and fill the glass with ice carefully so that you don't knock off any of the salt.
  • Fill up your glass and garnish with the lime.

    I love the idea of using a stronger sugar to make the simple syrup! We’ll have to try both variations and let you know which our favorite is.

    Thanks for your reply. I didn’t realize the glass was separate from the coaster- I actually thought they were connected. I love the coaster so will search that out. Thanks again!!!

    So sorry Lisa but I do not remember. They are very flared and I have actually bought them at two different times. The coaster is from a set of a variety of metallic colors from Pier 1.
