Margarita - Pink Lemonade Margarita (Pink Senorita Cocktail)

What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.

fresh lemon wedge, optional for a salted glass rim
coarse salt, optional for a salted glass rim
4 oz. raspberry lemonade
1-1/2 oz. blanco tequila
1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz. orange liqueur - I prefer Cointreau, but Triple Sec or Grand Marnier are good substitutions
crushed ice
Lemon slices, raspberries, and mint, optional garnishes

To rim the glass (optional): Place some salt on a small plate. Rub lemon wedge around rim of glass. Dip wet rim into the salt, straight down and straight up. If you twist the glass, you risk some of the salt rubbing off. To make the cocktail: To a glass, add raspberry lemonade, tequila, lemon juice, and orange liqueur. Add crushed ice to nearly fill the glass. Stir the drink with a spoon for a few seconds to incorporate and chill the drink. Garnish with a lemon slice, raspberries, and mint, if desired.
