Substitutes And Variations To Pink Senorita Recipe 

• Use a simple syrup or honey to sweeten up the cocktail even more. 
• Rim the glass in this coarse sugar instead of salt. 
• Swap the triple sec with any orange liqueur. 
• Use a plain lemonade, raspberry, or any other flavor of lemonade you would like. 
• Add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and make it slush. 
• Add some lemon zest to the drink for a more robust lemon flavor. 

Tips For Success 

• Add ingredients to your shaker. Make sure to shake the mixture well so it blends well. 
• Serve the mixture immediately, as you don’t want the drink to water down as the ice melts. 
• Add less or more tequila to make it a lighter or stronger cocktail. 
• Add more lemonade for a tart variation or less to make it not as sweet. 
• If you double or create a pitcher, measure each ingredient correctly.

What if I don’t have a cocktail shaker?

You can use a mason jar with a lid or even a glass with a plate on top to mimic a lid. Then shake well to ensure you fully mix the ingredients.
