Tequila Reposado to Make the Best Cadillac Margarita Recipe
If you’re after a show-stopping margarita recipe, this is the one. Ever wondered why we use tequila reposado in our Cadillac Margaritas? Here’s why:
Reposado, meaning “rested,” is aged longer than tequila blanco but less than añejo. The resulting flavour is smooth and lacks the harshness of silver tequila. This makes reposado ideal for mixing cocktails, as it complements rather than overpowers other ingredients. Its amber hue adds a golden touch that perfectly pairs with the rest of the mix.
The Cadillac Margarita is our most popular cocktail, and it’s no surprise—it’s sweet, zesty, and satisfying, with Altos Reposado Tequila as the perfect base.
