It’s summer! The time when I reach for Lucy Buffett’s cookbook before anything else.
This one is based on Lucy’s Cadillac Margarita, adapted to, naturally, include key lime juice. Because I am obsessed love it.
Do me a favor and combine in a shaker:
- 1.5 ounces tequila
- 3/4 ounce Grand Marnier
- 1 ounce key lime juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- juice of 1/2 lime
Add as much ice as will fit in the shaker and do the margarita dance (shake it up). If it’s your thing (it’s certainly mine) run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass and dip it in coarse salt. When the drink is fabulously cold and frothy, pour into said glass and enjoy.
I’ll take one in August please
this looks delicious….I just started experimenting with making my own cocktails…so much fun
I will try your recipe this weekend.
It IS fun isn’t it??
And certainly more affordable! ~OPK
Oh. My. Goodness. I love, love, love margaritas and now you’ve made a KEY LIME one?! I’ll be drinking one of these (or several) this weekend! Thanks for the recipe.
Yay!! Lemme know how you like them!
OOO MAN! You are screaming (not calling) my name with this! Seriously….Yum! When I come to NashVegas will you make me a bucket of these?
DUH! Of course!
