I have to admit, this margarita cotton candy cocktail was so fun to make!

This is a wonderful drink to make for Girls Night, it makes a great Bridal Shower drink, or even a fun baby shower drink (especially if you’re having a girl)! 

The color alone is to die for, but adding the cotton candy gives this margarita a sweet flavor that is really wonderful. 

This drink is reminiscent of a shirley temple when you were a kid, but is a grown-up version that will quickly become a favorite!
