Pink Cocktails with Vodka

Since vodka is a clear, mostly flavorless alcohol, it's a popular choice for making a pink drink with a punch. This section also includes drinks made with flavored vodkas.

1. Rosemary Pink Grapefruit Moscow Mule

a blush pink grapefruit moscow mule cocktail being poured from a mason jar into a tall glass filled with ice and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Classic Moscow Mules are made with just vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. This blush pink Rosemary Grapefruit Moscow Mule gets is gorgeous color from using pink grapefruit juice instead of lime. The bitterness of the grapefruit juice works exceptionally well with the spice of the ginger beer.

2. Pink Dragonfruit Cocktail

A dark pink dragonfruit cocktail in a tall glass painted gold at the bottom, garnished with fresh blackberries, sprigs of mint, and a gold and white paper straw.

There are two kinds of dragonfruit, and while both have pink exteriors, one has a white interior and one has a pink interior. Both will taste great, but use the type with a pink interior to make this stunning pink vodka drink.

3. Cherry Vodka Sour

Old fashioned champagne glass filled with a pink cocktail, a Cherry Vodka Sour, garnished with a stick skewering two maraschino cherries.

A Cherry Vodka Sour is a fun and fruity twist on a classic cocktail. If you want to amp up the cherry flavor, try using maraschino cherry syrup instead of the grenadine when making this pink vodka cocktail.

4. Bay Breeze Cocktail

Two glasses with pink bay breeze cocktails garnished with a slice of lime and fresh mint, in front of a fresh pineapple and a vase of flowers.

A Bay Breeze cocktail gets its gorgeous pink color from cranberry juice mixed with pineapple juice and vodka. Just three simple ingredients to make such a beautiful, refreshing cocktail perfect for a summer afternoon.

Floral and fruit notes make this Raspberry Hibiscus Cocktail a perfectly refreshing, light, summer drink.

6. Strawberry Pink Vodka Lemonade Cocktail

Pink lemonade vodka cocktail in a glass full of ice, garnished with a sliced strawberry, and slice of lemon, and a pink and white paper straw.

A Pink Lemonade Vodka Cocktail is a classic, and so easy to make! This particular recipe is something extra special, though--more complex than just vodka and lemonade. This recipe uses Pink Whitney vodka and strawberry Malibu rum for extra fruity flavor. It makes a pitcher of pink punch, so invite your friends over for a girls' night and whip up a batch.

7. Pink Starburst Shot

A pink starburst shot in a clear shot glass rimmed with pink sugar, and garnished with a pink Starburst candy. Other wrapped starburst candies are scattered around the shot glass.

Pink starburst shots taste like starburst candies in liquid form, but pack a punch! I love the use of a pink Starburst candy as garnish on the glass.

8. Watermelon Martini

Deep pink watermelon martini served in a classic martini glass rimmed with sugar, and garnished with a triangular slice of watermelon and a fresh mint leaf.

Get your cocktail shaker ready, because it's martini time! Specifically, Watermelon Martini time. If you want to add even more watermelon flavor to this cocktail, try using watermelon syrup instead of the simple syrup called for in this recipe. Either way, it's summery, and fresh, and absolutely delicious!

9. Blood Orange Creamsicle Martini

Two champagne glasses filled with blood orange creamsicle martinis, pink colored, in front of a lush green bush with pink flowers.

This creamy, sparkling, perfectly pink orange creamsicle martini gets its glorious rosy hue from fresh blood orange juice. This is the perfect drink for a bridal shower or birthday brunch. It's also absolutely delicious made with regular orange juice--just not that glorious pink color!

10. Watermelon Rosemary Spiked Punch

Four glasses of a blush pink cocktail garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary. A pitcher of the spiked watermelon rosemary punch and a sliced watermelon sit behind the glasses.

Watermelon vodka and blended watermelon puree give fabulous watermelon flavor to this spiked watermelon rosemary punch. Whip up a pitcher (this recipe makes 8 servings) for a hot summer day!

This Raspberry Lime Ricky cocktail has tons of fruit flavor thanks to a combination of Chambord, citrus vodka, and raspberry vodka. Paired with fresh lime juice and raspberry lemonade, this beautiful cocktail would make a refreshing beverage for a girls' night in.

12. Blood Orange Moscow Mule

Compliment the traditional lime juice and ginger beer with fresh blood orange juice, and you get one of my favorite pink cocktails. I think I'm requesting this for mother's day!

Head over to the blog post to learn all about them, and get the recipe for this gorgeous pale pink cocktail.

Cotton Candy is a classic pink flavor, and these cotton candy margaritas are a fun, grown-up twist on a childhood favorite.

The Pink Clover Club Cocktail gets its foamy top with egg whites, but if you're a vegan, or you just don't like the idea of using raw egg whites, you can use aquafaba (the liquid that comes in a can of chickpeas) instead. If you don't want to bother with the chickpeas, you can buy a version designed for cocktails, too!

26. Rhubarb Gin and Tonic

Two glasses of rhubarb gin and tonic, a beautiful pink cocktail garnished with fresh lime and rhubarb.

One of the things I love best about living in England is how much love there is for rhubarb here!
