help Grand Margarita FAQ
What makes a Grand Margarita different from a regular margarita?
A Grand Margarita uses Grand Marnier as the orange liqueur instead of a standard triple sec. Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is a French orange and Cognac liqueur introduced in 1880, so it gives the drink a richer, rounder flavor.
Is a Grand Margarita the same thing as a Cadillac Margarita?
They overlap because both usually involve tequila, lime juice, and Grand Marnier. In many bars, a Cadillac Margarita specifically signals an upgraded margarita with premium tequila and Grand Marnier.
Should a Grand Margarita be served on the rocks or up?
Both are common, just like a classic margarita can be served up, on the rocks, or frozen. The important parts are tequila, fresh lime juice, Grand Marnier, and often a salted rim.
Does Grand Marnier make the drink stronger than triple sec?
It can, depending on the triple sec being replaced. Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is 40 percent ABV, similar to Cointreau and stronger than many lower-proof generic triple secs.
