Editorial Guidelines Published on June 26, 2024 Close Since pink makes everything better, you'll want to get on board with this cocktail collection. Our selection of festive pink recipes ranges from elegant aperitifs and sparkling spritzers to booze-forward cocktails and after-dinner sippers. Some are pale pink, others have a brighter hue, and a few are downright cerise, maybe even magenta. These special tipples get their blush from fruits like rhubarb, red grapefruit, strawberries, and watermelon or from ingredients like Aperol, Campari, and red wine that mix up pink. Whether you need a rosy cocktail to celebrate a special soiree, birthday bash, baby shower, or just because you'll find the right pink drink here. Cheers! 10 Ways to Upgrade Your Summer Cocktails 01 of 18 Watermelon Cucumber Cooler Two of the most refreshing ingredients imaginable—watermelon and English cucumber—combine, setting the stage for vodka and tart lime juice.

View Recipe 02 of 18 Ruby Red Tequila Cocktails John Kernick Ruby red refers to the type of grapefruit juice used in this pink drink, a thirst quencher that gets its kick from tequila and its tangy boost from fresh-squeezed lime juice.

View Recipe 09 of 18 Pink Gin Martinis Justin Walker Perhaps the palest pink drink in our collection, this martini also might be the most powerful. The delicate shade comes from Angostura bitters, but it’s the Kirsch, a clear brandy distilled from cherries, that gives it a unique flavor. Though we call it a martini, and it does include gin and vermouth, we prefer to sip this beauty from a coupe, not a martini glass. View Recipe 10 of 18 Sorbet Spritzers Kirsten Francis This bright beverage gets its hue from vibrant raspberry sorbet and sparkling white wine. If you want to go even pinker, swap in a sparkling rosé. Note: the sorbet acts as ice without watering the drink down. View Recipe 11 of 18 Pineapple-Raspberry Bellini Armando Rafael The best-known Bellini is made with prosecco and white peach puree; the brightest version might be this one. It's a low-ABV drink that's super celebratory—sparkling wine brings the bubbles while a puree of raspberries and pineapple provides the color and the sweetness.
