A Pink Señorita is a twist on the classic margarita and made with pink lemonade, tequila and triple sec. It’s the perfect summertime cocktail that’s refreshing and sweet.
Whether you’re planning to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, happy hour with your friends, or simply lounging by the pool, the Pink Señoritas cocktail is the perfect drink to make.
While I enjoy many different flavors of margaritas, from mango to blue aloha, the pink lemonade margarita is a particular favorite of mine, as it hits the sweet spot perfectly.
This cocktail is not only fun to make, but it’s also guaranteed to be the hit of the party. Additionally, it pairs perfectly with Mexican food such as chicken carnitas, tacos, nachos, or enchiladas, just like our strawberry lemonade margarita.
Making a Pink Señoritas is just like making a regular margarita, with salt around the rim (my favorite part) and a lemon slice for garnish.
If you’re unsure about the taste, trust us on this one, it’s delicious, and the color is pretty too. So let’s get the fiesta started!
