Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Tequila (silver)
  • 1 oz Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 oz Grapefruit Juice
  • ½ oz Simple Syrup (or Agave Nectar)
  • ½ oz Orange Liqueur (such as Triple Sec)
  • 12 drops Grenadine
  • Optional Garnish: Pink salt rim, lime wheel, edible flowers

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Start by preparing the glass with a pink salt rim for an extra touch of flavor. Moisten the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and dip it into pink salt. This adds a refreshing, salty contrast to the sweetness of the cocktail.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of silver tequila, 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 oz of grapefruit juice, ½ oz of simple syrup (or agave nectar), and ½ oz of orange liqueur. Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and combined.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice. This will ensure the smooth texture and vibrant color of your Pink Señorita.

Step 4: Add Grenadine and Garnish

Add 1-2 drops of grenadine to give the cocktail a beautiful pink hue. Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of edible flowers to elevate the look of the drink. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Freshly Squeezed Juices: For the best taste, always use freshly squeezed lime and grapefruit juices instead of bottled juices. This will add more vibrant flavor to the cocktail.
  • Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the amount of simple syrup or agave nectar. For a more tart version, reduce the sweetness accordingly.
