Looks can be deceiving, and that’s certainly the case with the Pretty in Pink cocktail. Despite its beautiful pink color, this cocktail by El Tequileño Platinum packs a punch with a combination of freshly squeezed lime juice, pink lemonade, silver tequila, and triple sec. Make it even prettier, by adding some raspberries, edible flowers, and a cucumber ribbon as garnish.
When you’re shaking up the Pretty in Pink, opt for high-quality ingredients like a good silver tequila such as El Tequileño Platinum. This lends spicy, savory notes that pair well with the tart lime juice and pink lemonade, the latter helping to gives it the namesake hue. While triple sec packs a more citrusy punch and helps offsets notes of spice, earthiness, or smoke that the tequila tends to provide. A bit of agave sweetens the cocktail. Lastly, topping with club soda makes it fizzy, and will be a guaranteed thirst quencher.
