SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE DRESSY
Dig champagne? How about margaritas? Both are great on a warm day, so why not combine them with some pink lemonade for the ultimate refreshment? Here’s how to make it great, according to Marla Merideth.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce silver tequila

- ice
- lemon wedge
- coarse salt (we love Pink Himalayan)
Instructions
- Rub the lemon wedge round the rim of an old-fashioned glass. Roll the rim of the glass in salt.
