This cocktail takes all the best elements of a margarita—tequila, citrus, and sugar—and combines them with the dry, summery fun of rosé.

Ingredients

Makes 1 cocktail

2 strawberries, hulled, sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
2 ounces tequila blanco
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce dry rosé
  1. Muddle strawberries and sugar in a cocktail shaker until lightly crushed. Add tequila, lemon juice, rosé, and a single large ice cube. Cover and shake until outside of the shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Pour drink with ice cube into a rocks glass (do not strain).

  • Bright and lightly sweet drink that cuts through the all alcohol

  • I thought this was a delicious and fun drink. The Rose adds a bit of dryness to an otherwise sweetish drink but you can omit of you don’t have it. Great balance of flavor.

  • This reached a level of vileness I thought was unobtainable in a cocktail.

  • I made this cocktail and loved it, although I made some adjustments based on the reviews below. I used equal parts tequila and rose. And I used a sparking rose. definitely going to make it again!

  • I think it is 3 to 4 ounces of rose and the rest as written. Tastes a lot better but I'm kind of addicted to my own recipe for frozen margaritas without the rose.

  • Agree with some of the others - it's really just a pink margarita, and not such a great one at that. It was sadly in need of salt. I made it to use some leftover rose. Maybe if you increase the rose, as Jessieroo suggested, it would have more character.

  • I agree with a previous poster: there are better uses for tequila and rose. they do nothing to complement each other and you're better off just drinking the rose and saving the tequila for a better cocktail.

  • A very nice summer cocktail. Nice and tart. Lots of cocktails are too sweet for me, but this was a nice balance. I would add a bit more rose next time around. And perhaps mix up in a big pitcher. My only complaint was that my drink was gone too fast!

  • ugh. not very tasty. I added less tequila than called for and it was just bland. A waste of tequila and rose!

  • This may very well be a very tasty cocktail, but it's not practical for a home bar. I would not open a bottle of rose' for such a small amount.

  • Wondering if the rose amount is accurate. 3/4 ounce of rose is nothing! I hope someone checks this out. Could it mean 3-4 ounces rose? That would make more sense!

  • I'm giving this cocktail two forks as written, but it can be improved pretty easily. On first glance it should be obvious that this cocktail is more than half tequila, which really overpowers the hint of rose when you make the drink as written. On a second attempt, and because I had an open bottle of rose, I used two ounces of rose, to match the two ounces of tequila, and added an additional strawberry, just for fun. The result was delicious, but still quite strong, so be careful!
