Cocktails for Celebrating Galentine’s Day

Our previous Galentine celebrations have ranged from elaborate to quick meet-ups. The one thing they always have in common is a pretty cocktail. In fact, we have two rules for our Galentine’s Day cocktails. They need to be pretty, and they need to be PINK!

Today, I am sharing a couple of our favorite Galentine’s Day Cocktails:

Sparkling Vodka Limeade Highball

This cocktail is very easy, and since I like Vodka, one we make for several occasions. Mix this cocktail in the glass.
