Pink makes everything better. Whether it's your outfit, nails, decor, or even drinks, a dash of bubblegum and a dollop of magenta add such a fun flair! Speaking of pink drinks, not only does a tinge of the flirty color make them look pretty, but it makes them taste even better, as so many of the best flavors, like watermelon, raspberry, and strawberry, are pink. Here, you'll find some pretty-in-pink cocktails and mocktail recipes that are easy to make and even easier to sip down.
Pink cocktails are perfect for serving alongside a romantic Valentine's Day dinner or a night in with the gals on Galentine's Day (like Paige Drummond's party). But there are also so many other fitting occasions for having a color-themed drink. Hosting a baby shower like Alex's? You're going to need something non-alcoholic, like watermelon margarita mocktails. Kicking off a bridal party? Ree Drummond's dangerously tasty Oklahoma prairie fire is too good to miss. And if someone's favorite color is pink (ahem, Alex 😂), switch out their usual morning smoothie recipe for a revitalizing watermelon one.
There's even a few champagne cocktails worthy of a toast. Plus, there is always a pitcher of sangria or punch bowl to offer something fun, fruity, and flirty. They make a stunning presentation at any party. You won't need rose-colored glasses to fall for any of these sippers, that's for sure!
Cosmopolitan Cocktail
You can never go wrong with this classic party drink—especially because it's pink! With sweet, tart, and citrusy, notes from an irresistible combination of vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime juice, it tastes just as good as it looks.

Mistletoe Martini

Raspberry Sorbet Spritz
Ice cream isn't just for hot summer days. It also makes a delicious and creamy cocktail mixer! This blush-toned beverage gets its hue from tart raspberry sorbet and sparkling rosé. Plus, the sorbet acts as ice without watering the drink down.

Strawberry Daiquiri
If you want a drink that calls to your inner child, this frozen strawberry daiquiri (that's basically a grown-up slushie) is for you. Plus, it only takes four ingredients — strawberries, rum, lime juice, and sugar — to whip up this bright and refreshing beverage!

Cranberry Martini
This magenta martini may share the cranberry-lime-vodka mix as a cosmopolitan, but it's just as unique as its color! Homemade ginger-infused syrup and dry vermouth balance the sweetness for a refreshing twist.

Champagne Punch
You don't have to be celebrating something to toast with a glass of fruity champagne infusion! Champagne serves as the base of this punch, which gets its sweet flavor and light pinky-peach hue from white-cranberry strawberry juice, orange liqueur, and fresh strawberries.

Shirley Temple
Use grenadine, lemon-lime soda, and a whole lot of Maraschino cherries to make this nostalgic beverage that kids and adults will enjoy. It's technically a mocktail, but you can add a splash of vodka to make your Shirley "dirty."

Oklahoma Prairie Fire
It's no wonder Ree loves this cocktail, and not just because it's named for her home state! The mezcal-based blood orange drink is full of bold flavors.
