A summertime cocktail has a singular purpose: It must make you feel cool in a very literal sense.
1. Pink Señoritas
Like a margarita with a softer, cuter side, the Señorita ditches limes for pink lemonade and lemon juice.
INGREDIENTS
Lemon wedge, for rimming glasses
Coarse salt, for rimming glasses
1/4 c. Fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. Triple sec
1 c. Tequila
4 Lemon Slices, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of four glasses, then dip rims into salt.
- To each glass, add ice, pink lemonade, lemon juice, triple sec, and tequila. Stir to combine. (if you prefer a lot of ice, stir together mixture first, then pour over ice.)
- Garnish each glass with a lemon slice.
2. Frozen Sangria Margarita
