The Pink Margarita is a colorful twist on a classic margarita, introducing a dash of Campari to give it a distinctive pink hue and a slightly bitter edge. The cocktail harmoniously blends the sweetness of honey with the tanginess of fresh lime juice.
Tequila remains the backbone of this vibrant drink, providing its characteristic warmth and complexity. While typically served in a cocktail glass, this Pink Margarita stands out not just for its alluring color, but also for the layered flavors that make it a refreshingly bold choice for aficionados looking to experiment beyond the traditional margarita palette.

FAQ's
Can I substitute Campari with something else in a Pink Margarita?
Yes, if you're looking for a substitute for Campari in a Pink Margarita, you can use Aperol for a slightly sweeter taste or a non-alcoholic bitter like Seedlip Grove for a mocktail version. These alternatives will maintain the cocktail's unique color and add their own twist to the flavor profile.
What garnish works best with a Pink Margarita?
A Pink Margarita looks and tastes great with a simple lime wheel or a pink grapefruit slice. To add a pop of color and elegance, consider rimming the glass with pink Himalayan salt or sugar.
Is there a specific type of glass recommended for serving a Pink Margarita?
A Pink Margarita is typically served in a cocktail glass, as mentioned. However, for a more casual or festive look, a salt-rimmed margarita glass or even a coupe glass can add an extra flair to your presentation.
How does the alcohol content of a Pink Margarita compare to a traditional margarita?
The alcohol content in a Pink Margarita, which is 24.39%, is slightly lower than that of a traditional margarita, typically around 30%. This is largely due to the addition of Campari and the specific proportions of ingredients used in the Pink Margarita recipe.
What's the best way to achieve a cold, not diluted Pink Margarita?
To keep your Pink Margarita cold and not diluted, shake the cocktail with plenty of ice until well chilled and then strain it into your glass. Use large ice cubes for shaking as they melt more slowly than smaller ones, reducing dilution while still chilling the drink effectively.
