A classic margarita is a fairly simple drink to make. In a shaker add 2 oz. Tequila, 1 oz. Orange Liquor (Cointreau or Triple Sec), 1/2 oz. Sweetener (Simple Syrup or Agave Syrup) and 1 oz. Lime Juice…shake ‘n serve. Serve over ice and salt the rim if you like. Simple and perfect, right? It’s the variations that make a margarita the quintessential summer cocktail.
Here we’ve collected some very pretty pink margarita recipes that would be great for a beach party, bridal shower or girls birthday celebration. The colors range from a barely blush pink to a wildly hot pink. (Cover photo credit: Laura at tideandthyme)

Leah, of the blog freutcake, creates a modern take on nostalgic foods. Her Coconut Blood Orange Margarita is “creamy and frothy from the coconut cream, tangy from the lime, and surprisingly pink from the squeeze of blood orange juice…but maybe too pink?” Never.
