I decided to make a pitcher of homemade Cadillac Margaritas for my husband and I after I bought a huge bag of limes for a party at one of those bargain warehouse stores and only used like 2 of them. When life gives you limes....well I think you can finish that one.
If I was to do this again, I would probably make my simply syrup less sweet. I'm not too keen on very sugary margaritas and unfortunately these were a bit sweet for me. My husband LOVED them though. Don't tell, but I'm pretty sure he had three.
Enjoy (responsibly of course!)!
Homemade Cadillac Margaritas
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 cups fresh lime juice (about 10-15 limes)
1 cup gold tequila
1/4 cup triple sec
1/3 cup Grand Marnier
lots of ice
In a small saucepan or in the microwave, melt the sugar and water together. Once the sugar is melted and you have a simple syrup, add it to a large pitcher. Mix in your lime juice and liquor. Toss in lots of ice, stir and serve in salt-rimmed glasses over ice.

I can't blame you, Margarita is very tempting. I even bought my own margarita maker to easily prepare drinks for my friends. Drink moderately! :)
You do have good taste but true Cadillac Margaritas are more than what is used here. A Cadillac is all the plush, top of the line design and so should the Margarita. Try using a premium silver tequila like Milagro Silver, Herradura SIlver, or Patron Silver. There are also much better spirits to use than just basic triple sec, try Patron Citonge or Cointreau. Then top it all off with a float of Grand Marnier or Gran Gala. For a true Cadillac Margarita experience. 8)
