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!

Directions:

In a large cocktail glass, add the tequila, lime juice, vanilla soda, and orange liqueur, and stir until completely mixed (you can use a shaker but be prepared it may fizz due to the soda).

Pour the mixture over about a cup of cotton candy that is placed inside a large pitcher. Stir well until the cotton candy is dissolved.

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for an hour to chill.  

Dip the rims of 4 glasses in the lime juice and then in the sugar.
