Singer-songwriter Gram Parsons’ favorite cocktail was the Cadillac Margarita. In an ode to the artist, who had his last Margarita at the Copper Room, the Yucca Valley bar created this on-tap rendition garnished with a half salt rim, as Parsons liked it. While the Copper Room pre-batches the drink to have on draft, this version is scaled down for a single serving.
