Don't have a shaker? You can use any glass jar, like a canning jar!
Keep your pink vodka in the freezer. It will keep the drink colder for longer and you will have to use less ice.
Make your own lime juice. Fresh squeezed lime juice can make a major difference in the taste of your pink vodka margaritas.
Avoid, if you can, cheap ingredients. Quality vodka, liqueur, syrups, and juices make the difference.
