Last year for Cinco de Mayo, we shared a delicious French Margarita recipe. This year, we ask you to look at your margarita through rose-colored glasses. While we don’t like to be redundant, it’s hard not to share another margarita recipe, especially when we came across one as tasty, simple and PINK as this one. This recipe for a pink margarita was adapted from a wonderful cocktail recipe found in Southern Living for Pink Cadillac Margaritas.
For a gathering, whip up batches of these pink margaritas ahead of time in pitchers and chill in the refrigerator. As guests arrive, shake and serve!
Pink DH Margaritas
- 1 cup premium silver or blanco tequila
- 1 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Cointreau or other orange liqueur
- 3/4 cup cranberry juice
- Wheel of lime (garnish)
Stir together all ingredients until combined. Shake in batches in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glasses. Garnish with a wheel of lime. The rims of the glasses can be rubbed with a lime and dipped in coarse salt, sugar or a combination.
Please drink responsibly. Enjoy.
