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.

  4. It’s only Saturday morning, but this even looks tempting now. My favourite cocktail. Cheers to the weekend!

  7. 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!!!

  8. 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.
