IF YOU DON’T USE FRESHLY SQUEEZED LIME JUICE, DON’T EVEN BOTHER. This seems like a no brainer, but I’m going to state it anyway. ![]() In Death & Co I trust, ALWAYS, and the Agave Nectar brings out more of the Tequila properties, making this the ultimate agave cocktail. Okay, why have TWO sugars, rather than one (aka being the Grand Marnier component)? It’s not just me, but the experts split their sugar base as well! Whether it’s Agave or a Syrup with Cointreau or in my case Grand Marnier. If this margarita was made with a Blanco tequila, I wouldn’t mind using the Cointreau product at all here. GM is a cognac based orange liqueur, lending more to those notes that I knew would compliment the REPOSADO tequila used. BUTTTTTTT had I found it, I would likely still use the Grand Marnier. The short answer here: I couldn’t find my Cointreau bottle. I made mine decorative for the gram, but I typically just salt about 1/3 of the glass, because there’s nothing I hate more than a SALTTYYY margarita. Cinnamon powder goes a long way, so I wouldn’t create the same ratios I did with the Salty Paloma product.ĪLSO – NEVER SALT THE ENTIRE RIM. If you don’t have access to this product, add a dash of cinnamon to 2 tbsps kosher salt. Now I had a batch of Salty Paloma‘s Sweetie Pie mix, and I simply added a 1:1 ratio of that and kosher salt. So instead of using traditional kosher salt for the margarita, I decided to dress it up with a bit of Cinnamon. Strain into the glass and place the lime garnish on the rim. So with that oak presence comes all the delicious notes we love, from caramel and vanilla coming out of the cask and into the tequila. Shake Grand Marnier, tequila and lime juice with ice in a cocktail shaker. Now because I used a Reposado Tequila, I wanted to bring out more of the savoury, nutty notes coming out, which is why I choose this particular Salt Rim… Cinnamon Salt Rim (Salty Paloma’s Sweetie Pie mixed with Kosher Salt)įor those of you that don’t know, Reposado translates to “Rested” in Spanish, and to be called a Reposado it needs to be aged for a minimum of 2 months and up to a year. OK, so what do you think? Let us know in the comments how you like it or how you make the perfect Margarita.So this was an easy one and that’s because you voted for Reposado as part of #DrinkYourGram! Realistically, I’m always team Blanco for a Margarita, but it doesn’t mean a Reposado will be OUTSTANDING. ![]() While it still offers a complex flavor and golden color, it’s not quite as rich as the Cadillac Margarita, though, since you don’t have both orange-flavored liqueurs. You do get a nice depth of flavor from the cognac and the orange that elevates the cocktail a bit more. Second, the mouthfeel of this cocktail does not change much at all.I didn’t have to adjust much else because this cocktail already has a fair amount of brightness and acidity to help offset the Grand Marnier. First, it brings a little more weight and ABV to the cocktail, which is why I dropped it from your traditional ¾ oz to ½ oz.Photo courtesy of DesignPickle/īelow is our recipe for a Margarita with Grand Marnier for when that’s all you have on hand.įrom our in-house bartender, Rob Harrah, this recipe changes with the addition of Grand Marnier in a couple of ways:
