Cadillac means top shelf: upgrade the Margarita's tequila to Cuervo and its triple sec to Grand Marnier. Same frame, luxury parts.

Drink family: New Orleans Sour · Spirit + citrus + orange liqueur

One formula, many names: the Kamikaze is just a Margarita made with vodka.

Same shape on your sheets: Between the Sheets, Blue Lady, Margarita, Fuzzy Margarita

Memory tricks are written for this app; only the acronym is printed on the sheet. Drink families are Gary Regan's, from The Joy of Mixology.
