How to make a Pink Margarita: A colorful twist to the classic cocktail
Mix the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add ice to about halfway. Then, pour in the tequila, grapefruit liqueur (or strawberry/raspberry liqueur), lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to ensure the ingredients are well combined and chilled. Strain and serve: Attach a strainer to the shaker and pour the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an additional fine strainer to remove any pulp from the grapefruit or berries before pouring.

Instructions To Make a Margarita Pink Cocktail:
Glass:
The glass you choose plays a big part in showcasing the vibrant colours and clarity of the cocktail. While there are various types of margarita glasses, from the classic to modern, with decorative touches, if you don’t have a margarita glass on hand, a coupe or even a whiskey or lowball glass will work just as well.
Mix the ingredients:
Add ice to a cocktail shaker until it’s half full. Then, add the tequila, grapefruit liqueur or strawberry/raspberry liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Shake:
Cover the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. This will properly mix and chill the ingredients.
Strain and serve:
Place a strainer on top of the cocktail shaker and pour the mixture into your prepared glass with ice. If you’d rather avoid any pulp from the grapefruit juice or berries, feel free to use an extra strainer when pouring into the glass.
Garnish (optional):
For a final touch, add a slice of lime or grapefruit to the rim of the glass as garnish.
This cocktail offers more than just a flavour experience – it’s a beautiful artistic expression that brings elegance and colour to any occasion. A Pink Margarita is versatile enough for all sorts of events: theme parties, special occasions, brunches, lunches, or simply a sunny afternoon spent with friends.
