FAQ

What kind of grapefruit juice is best for a pink tequila cocktail?

Any grapefruit juice will do, but we prefer freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice for optimum flavor.

Can I make a large batch of pink tequila cocktails for a party or gathering?

Yes! Use 16 oz of tequila, 1 quart of grapefruit juice, 6 ounces simple syrup and 6 oz cranberry juice. This should make about 12-15 drinks.

How do you make simple syrup?

Simple syrup is mixture of sugar + water in equal quantities, cooked over low heat until sugar melts. So for the Pink Señorita recipe, use ½ c sugar + ½ c water. This will make enough for at least 4 drinks, and stores well in the fridge if you don't want that many right away.

Are there any non-alcoholic alternatives for pink señorita tequila cocktails?

Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version by replacing the tequila with alcohol-free alternatives such as non-alcoholic distilled spirits or flavored soda water. Additionally, you can adjust the recipe to focus on the grapefruit juice or cranberry juice to achieve a similar taste experience without the alcohol content.

      Hi Brooke! thanks for reaching out. Simple syrup is mixture of sugar + water in equal quantities, cooked over low heat until sugar melts. So for the Pink Señorita recipe, use 1/2 c sugar + 1/2 c water. This will make enough for at least 4 drinks, and stores well in the fridge if you don't want that many right away. Cheers!
