Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 ounces Reposado tequila
- 2 ounces Cointreau (you can also use triple sec)
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 2 ounces raspberry lemonade
- Optional: 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon rose water
- Agave nectar or simple syrup to sweeten, as desired
- Prosecco
- 4-5 dried rose buds, roughly minced and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for glass rims
- Fresh raspberries, lemon slices for serving
Instructions
- Mix sugar and rose buds in a shallow bowl or plate until completely combined. Run a lemon slice along the rim of your margarita glasses. Dip the rims of each glass into the sugar mixture to coat. Set aside.
- Mix tequila, cointreau, raspberry lemonade, lemon juice, and rose water if using together in a cocktail shaker. Shake until combined.
- Taste and add sweetener as desired. Start with a small amount, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Mix after each addition and taste again (I prefer mine with little to no sweetener but most people like a touch of sweet).
- Fill rose sugar rimmed glasses with ice. Pour the margarita mixture in the cocktail shaker over the ice. Top with Prosecco as desired. Garnish with a lemon slice and fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
