Method
Glass preparation
Rim the glass
Rub the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks or coupe glass (or margarita glass). Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Cocktail preparation
Combine and chill
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice. Pour in 2 oz Don Julio Blanco, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar. Add a couple of ice cubes more so the shaker is about two-thirds full.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
Float Grand Marnier
Slowly pour 0.5 oz Grand Marnier over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the cocktail so the liqueur floats on top, creating the signature 'Cadillac' float.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with the reserved lime wedge on the rim or a thin lime wheel. Serve immediately with a small stirrer so the drinker can mix in the float if desired.
