The Cadillac Margarita is a more premium take on the classic, typically made with higher quality tequila and a float of orange liqueur. It reflects a shift toward more refined versions of familiar drinks.
It keeps the same core structure but adds a smoother, richer profile. The quality of the ingredients makes all the difference here. It is a cocktail that feels a little more elevated.
