Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 1 cup White Tequila
- 3/4 cup Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 can (12 oz) Canada Dry Vanilla Cream Soda
- 1/3 cup Orange Liqueur
Garnish
- 1 package Pink Cotton Candy
- Sugar for glass rim
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large cocktail pitcher, combine the white tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, vanilla cream soda, and orange liqueur. Shake or stir vigorously until the mixture is completely blended.
- Chill Mixture: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cocktail to chill thoroughly.
- Prepare Glasses: Dip the rims of four 8-ounce glasses first into lime juice, then into sugar to create a sweet, tangy sugared rim for each glass.
- Stir Before Serving: Remove the pitcher from the refrigerator and give the cocktail a good stir to re-mix any settled ingredients.
- Assemble Cocktails: Fill each prepared glass about three-quarters full with the chilled margarita mixture. Add approximately half a cup of pink cotton candy to each glass and gently stir so the cotton candy dissolves into the drink, adding sweetness and a fun visual effect.
- Serve: Serve the Cotton Candy Margaritas chilled and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less cotton candy according to taste.
- Ensure glasses are chilled if possible for an extra refreshing experience.
- Vanilla cream soda adds unique creaminess; avoid substituting with regular soda to maintain the intended flavor.
- This cocktail contains alcohol and is intended for adults of legal drinking age.
