Cocktail Hour: Pink Cadillac

So, as you are probably all now aware, last week I was off jet setting in Las Vegas getting married. Whilst there I obviously did lots of cocktail drinking on your behalf, purely as research you understand!

Imagine my delight upon arriving at our hotel to discover it housed a delightful bar, namely Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, home to several of my very favourite things, namely tequila and mexican food! I politely informed my lovely hubs that should he ever be unable to find me I would more than likely be found in residence at the bar with a cocktail and nacho mountain keeping me company! Well, its always important to have a pre-defined meeting point in case of separation, no?

So let me introduce you to one of our very favourite concoctions from our 'local' - even the hubs liked this one and he is not a massive fan of tequila (I know, I know but his other attributes far outweigh this minor flaw!).

I give you The Pink Cadillac (adapted from Jimmy Buffett's Pink Cadillac Margarita recipe)


You'll Need:

• 45ml Tequila
• 15ml Cointreau
• 100ml Margarita Mix
• Splash of cranberry juice, to taste

Shake It!

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and get shaking. Serve over ice, preferably in a margarita glass, with a slice of orange. Salted rim optional!
