 These two recipes do the trick:

This one is via need supply, a site/shop worth visiting! 

Ingredients:

• 2 oz tequila
• 1/2 oz Cointreau
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1/4 oz simple syrup
• lime wedge and course salt for garnish

Start by slitting a lime wedge and running it around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim in course salt to you liking. Add ingredients to a shaker with ice, if you like things on the sweeter side you can add a dash more of simple syrup, or omit it altogether if you prefer extra tart. Shake extra hard for a full ten second so you margarita gets frothy and icy cold. Strain over ice in your salted glade and garnish with a lime wedge.

Pink Grapefruit Margaritas
From: Barefoot Contessa’s  How Easy Is That

• 1 cup          ruby red grapefruit juice
• 1/2  cup    fresh squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
• 1 cup         triple sec orange liqueur
• 3 cups      ice
• 1 cup        silver tequila
• 1   lime cut in wedges, optional Kosher salt.

If you prefer to rim the glasses take a lime wedge and rim, then dip in salt, if you do not like a salted rim sprinkle a touch of salt in each glass, the salt really brings out the flavor.
Combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, triple sec and ice in a blender. Pour into a large pitcher (or just keep it in the blender) and pour in the tequila, stir. (I personally just added it all to the blender- I like slushy, that is totally up to you)
Makes 4 drinks.
* Just as a note: it is important to use Ruby Red grapefruit juice, it is much sweeter than regular and it has the lovely pink color. 

cocktail my very own

I have made this cocktail a few times

this cold February.

I must say, it's delish.

It will be even more wonderful in

the middle of the summer.

Refreshing and the prettiest shade of magenta

with a splash of lemon yellow.

I want to dive right in...literally!

  In a shaker loaded with ice add:

{tricky to say as I just pour til it feels right}

1/4 cup ST GERMAIN elderflower liquor

!/2 cup beet, apple, carrot, lemon ginger blueprint raw juice

{found at whole foods}

splash of bubbly water

fresh lemon peels
