Tasty Cotton Candy Margarita
This recipe is super simple to make and you only need a few ingredients to make it. This can be made in no time and is perfect for almost any occasion where you have guests. If you want a drink that will be the talk of the party, this is it!
Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- White Tequila: If you don’t have white tequila, you can use Mezcal which is an agave-based substitute for tequila.
- Lime Juice: I like to use freshly squeezed lime juice to really bring out the flavor.
- Canada Dry Vanilla Cream Soda: You can use other types of soda, but this one tastes the best and adds a nice carbonated touch.
- Orange Liqueur: A great substitute for this if you don’t have it is Calvados.
- Pink Cotton Candy Sugar: This is where you get that lovely and sweet cotton candy flavor.
How To Make A Cotton Candy Margarita
Step 1. Add the Tequila, Lime Juice, Vanilla Soda, and Orange Liqueur into a large pitcher and shake to combine. Allow the mixture to chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Dip the glass rims in the lime juice before dipping it into the candy sugar to coat.
Step 2. Take the pitcher out and fill each glass about 3/4 of the way full and put 1/2 cup of cotton candy into each drink and mix to combine. Serve cold and enjoy!
Can This Margarita Be Made Into A Mocktail?
Yes, you can make this tasty recipe into a mocktail if you desire. You will just need to substitute one of the ingredients. You can use orange marmalade to replace the orange liqueur and keep out the white tequila.

How do you get that pretty pink color by using lime juice, vanilla cream soda and orange liquor?
The pink color is from the cotton candy.
