The raspberry lemonade gives this drink a beautiful pink color and the perfect balance of sweet and tart, making it a fun twist on a classic pink lemonade margarita. A Tajín-rimmed glass adds just the right amount of zesty spice, while a squeeze of fresh lime brightens every sip. I started making these last year every time we had a bottle of Raspberry Lemonade in the fridge and they quickly became one of my favorite margarita recipes.

Tips

Use chilled raspberry lemonade so your margarita stays nice and cold.
Prefer a sweeter drink? Add a splash of agave and rim with sugar.
Want it spicier? Add a few slices of jalapeño.
Want it frozen? Blend the ingredients with ice for a refreshing frozen version.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, a lemon slice, or a lime wheel for an extra pop of color.
