15 pink cocktails

Woo woo

Guests will be swooning over this zingy vodka cocktail. The sweetness – which comes courtesy of peach schnapps and cranberry – is balanced by tart lime.

Cosmo margarita

Shake fragrant hibiscus tea with tequila, a dash of triple sec and lime juice to make this stylish pink-hued margarita. Garnish with a lime wedge for a sophisticated finish.

Rhubarb and rose gin fizz

Romance will be in the air with this elegant fizz, which combines rose water and homemade rhubarb syrup to create a lovely blush pink colour. Delicate in flavour and creamy enough for dessert, it's a romantic number that's perfect for Valentine's Day.

French martini

Try this fragrant blend of raspberry liqueur, pineapple juice and vodka at your next dinner party. For a fruity finish, garnish with a single raspberry.

Lychee martini

You'll taste fruity and tart flavours in this silky tropical pink cocktail from London bar Humble Chicken. It makes an elegant aperitif for Valentine's Day, too.

Rhubarb gin

Reap the rewards of making your own pink gin with our simple recipe, in which gin is infused with rhubarb and sugar. Serve neat over ice or in a pink-tinged G&T, sour cocktail or negroni.

Paloma cocktail

Starring refreshing grapefruit, the trendy paloma cocktail is a softer, breezier relative to the punchy margarita.

Cosmopolitan

You only need four ingredients to fix yourself a classic cosmo. Garnish with a little orange peel, if you like.

Rosé negroni sbagliato

A classic Italian aperitivo is given a fresh pink twist, courtesy of sparkling rosé wine. This easy cocktail needs just three ingredients and has a beautiful balance of fruity and herbal flavours.

Mezcal sour cocktail

Turn your hand to this mezcal sour, featuring a potent concoction of mezcal, pisco, aperitivo, egg whites, lime juice and cranberry bitters.

Pink lemonade cocktail

This deliciously fresh lemonade cocktail sings of summer and mixes vodka with raspberry liqueur, lemons and soda. Serve at a relaxed lunch with friends.

Sink the pink cocktail

A cocktail with serious wow-factor, this tipple sees pink grapefruit juice mixed with gin, lemon juice and a plum-flavoured syrup.

Strawberry margarita slushies

Nothing gets the party started quite like a round of margarita slushies. Combining strawberries, tequila, Cointreau, sugar syrup and limes, it's a super-refreshing and speedy choice.

Frozen strawberry daiquiri

Blitz a punnet of strawberries, rum, lime juice and ice together to make our reddish-pink frozen daiquiri. Quick and refreshing, it's one of our go-to summer tipples.

Watermelon cooler

Whizz together this watermelon and tequila refresher for your next BBQ – it's a perfect thirst-quencher to serve to guests on a hot, sunny day.
