how to make Pink Whitney Margarita
Use fresh lime juice and good ice. You can skip the tequila and add more Pink Whitney if you prefer a sweeter, vodka-only drink. Shake hard so the drink gets cold and a little frothy, then strain over ice in a salt-rimmed glass. For a color twist or different mood, you can also look at a blue Christmas margarita idea.
Ingredients :
- 1 ½ ounces Pink Whitney vodka
- ½ ounce tequila ((optional; you can use additional Pink Whitney if preferred))

- ¼ ounce raspberry liqueur ((optional; use all triple sec if preferred))
- ½ ounce agave syrup ((or to taste))
- Ice cubes
- 1 wedge fresh lime ((or extra agave))
- 1 Tbsp margarita or flaky salt ((amount approximate))
Directions :
- Rim your glass by first running the cut edge of a lime wedge around the outside of the rim to wet it.
- Then, dip the wet edge into a plate or shallow bowl with the margarita salt, and turn to coat.
- Fill the glass with ice.
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker (or similar; like a mason jar with a lid) along with a handful of ice cubes.
- Shake until well chilled and lightly frothy, about 15-20 seconds, then strain into prepared glasses.
- Garnish with a slice of lime and a red fruit (strawberry or raspberry) if desired, and enjoy!
