Light, refreshing, and effortlessly elegant, the Pink Señorita is perfect for warm afternoons, brunch gatherings, or any occasion that calls for a fun and flirty tequila cocktail!

Tasting Notes

The Pink Señorita is a refreshing, citrusy, and slightly sweet take on a tequila-based cocktail. The bright flavors of pink lemonade and lemon juice balance perfectly with the smooth silver tequila, while the triple sec adds a subtle orange note. Whether you choose a salted or sugared rim, this drink is vibrant, tangy, and perfect for warm-weather sipping.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker, a strainer for a smooth pour, and a rocks or highball glass for serving. A jigger ensures precise measurements, and a small plate is useful for rimming the glass with salt or sugar.

Pro Tips

• For a slightly sweeter drink, add ½ oz simple syrup or honey.
• If you prefer a fizzy version, top with club soda or sparkling water.
• Use fresh pink lemonade for the best flavor, or make your own by mixing lemonade with a splash of cranberry juice.
• For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.

When to Serve

The Pink Señorita is perfect for summer gatherings, brunches, poolside lounging, or as a fun, colorful twist on a classic margarita. It’s light, refreshing, and easy to sip.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the best experience, use a smooth silver tequila like Casamigos Blanco, Espolón Blanco, or Patrón Silver. Cointreau or Grand Marnier work well as premium triple sec options.

Equipment

• Cocktail Shaker
• Measuring Jigger
• Rocks Glass

Ingredients

• 2 ounces tequila choose a silver tequila for a smoother taste
• 1 ounce triple sec or any orange-flavored liqueur
• 2 ounces pink lemonade
• 1 ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed is best
• Salt or sugar for rimming the glass optional
• Fresh lemon slice for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare the Glass:

• If you like a rimmed glass, begin by running a lemon slice around the rim of your glass to wet it. Dip the rim in salt or sugar, depending on your preference. This step is optional but adds a nice touch.

Mix the Drink:

• In a shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, pink lemonade, and lemon juice. Fill the shaker about halfway with ice cubes. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to blend and chill the mixture.

Serve:

• Strain the mixture into your prepared glass, filled with fresh ice. Avoid pouring directly onto the salted or sugared rim to keep it neat.

Garnish and Enjoy:

• Add a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint to the glass for an extra splash of color and freshness.
