History

A flavourful Margarita, enriched by the liqueur's deep cognac and orange notes.

The Cadillac Margarita, featuring Grand Marnier instead of triple sec liqueur, gained widespread recognition in the 1980s, largely due to marketing efforts by the El Torito Grill restaurant chain, which was based in Southern California.
