Since February is the month we celebrate love, and I love a pretty cocktail for just about any occasion, I thought I’d share my three favorite pretty and pink cocktails that are the perfect festive touch for your Valentine’s celebration.
My idea of a wonderful cocktail recipe is simple.
One, it must be pretty, and two, it must taste delicious!
Add bonus points if they are easy to make!
Giggle Juice Cocktail-Pretty and Pink
First Up: Giggle Juice
Print
Ingredients
750 ML bottle of Champagne
3 cups of Pink Lemonade
1 cup of Lemon-Lime soda
1 cup of vodka
2 cups of sliced strawberries
Large Lemon, sliced into half-moons
Ice
Sugar for rimming the glasses
Directions
- Rim a pretty glass with a lemon wedge and dip in sugar.
- In a large pitcher, pour Champagne, Pink Lemonade, soda, and Vodka and stir.
- Add sliced fruit and ice and stir.
Please note- they do not call this recipe Giggle Juice for nothing!
Don’t skip the sugar on the rim, and It’s simply too pretty to miss.
Makes eight servings.
And because I told you I love easy cocktailsβ¦.
Pomegranate Mimosa
Next Up: Pomegranate Mimosas
Ingredients
1 bottle of Champagne
1 cup of Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice
Lime for rimming glass
Sugar for rimming glass
Pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Directions
- Rim your Champagne flutes with a lime wedge and dip in sugar.
- Add a teaspoon of Pomegranate seeds to flutes.
- Fill flutes to 1/2 way with Champagne
- Top flutes off with Pomegranate juice and serve.
The Pomegranate juice gives these cocktails a lovely color; they are perfect for Valentine’s Day.
I love to serve these for Christmas brunch also.
Serves 4.

Valentine’s Day Margarita
Next Up: Valentine’s Day Margaritas
Ingredients
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice.
1 cup silver tequila
1/2 cup Triple Sec
750 ML bottle of Pink Champagne
Lime Wedges for rim
Coarse salt for rim
Okay, in the spirit of 100% disclosure, this cocktail is a very light pink -I don’t want to steer you wrong.
The color comes from using pink Champagne.
You could substitute a Moscato for a darker pink.
Directions
- Combine all ingredients into a large pitcher and stir well
- Run lime wedges around rims of glasses and dip in a plate of coarse salt.
- Divide margarita’s into four glasses, garnish with limes and enjoy!
That’s it for my three pretty and pink cocktails recipes- you have to admit they are perfect for celebrating love!
If you are looking for more fancy cocktails, one of my very favorite sights to find cocktail recipes is Delish.
My hubby is a huge fan of their recipes, but I peruse the cocktail recipes instead since I am a terrible cook!
