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.

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.

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.
