Color-coordinating your bar is an unexpected way to add style to your party. If you're hosting, you might not want to have to fuss over making fancy signature cocktails; that's why we love these rosy spirits, liqueurs, and wines. They add a pop of trendiness to any drink in a flash, so you aren't trapped behind the bar. These are our 10 fave blush-toned bottled beverages.
Hangar 1 Rosé ($32): Blended with real rosé wine, this vodka is basically begging to be made into a spritzer. Add a splash of lemon to brighten things up.
The Bitter Truth Pink Gin ($35): Jazz up your tonics and martinis with this unusual gin from The Bitter Truth. It gets its color from bitters, which also add a complex flavor to the spirit.
Giffard Pamplemousse Rose ($28): Infuse your favorite cocktails with citrusy notes by adding some of this pink grapefruit liqueur to your glass. Dare we say all it needs is a splash of Pamplemousse La Croix?
La Vieille Ferme Rosé ($9): We couldn't make a list of millennial pink drinks and leave rosé off the list! For its affordability and flavor, this well-balanced bottle, widely available at grocery stores, can't be beat.
Codigo 1530 Tequila Rosa Blanco ($62): This tequila gets its color from time spent aging in oak barrels formerly filled with Napa Valley Cabernet. It gives the tequila some woodsy notes and a pretty hue to boot. Make a strawberry margarita to keep things pink.
Hana Hou Hou Pink Sparkling Sake ($15): Rose hips and hibiscus add to the delicate, floral flavor of this sake.
Svedka Strawberry Lemonade Vodka ($20): Lightly sweet-tart, this vodka is a tasty base for punches.
Giffard Lichi Li ($30): Infuse your cocktails with the juicy flavor of lychees thanks to this pink liqueur.
Kinky Pink Liqueur ($20): Bursting with the fruity flavors of mango, blood orange, and passionfruit, this liqueur can turn any cocktail into a party drink. Try mixing it with your favorite vodka to make a strong but sweet martini.
Sweet Revenge Wild Strawberry Sour Mash Liqueur ($25): It may be pink, but this strawberry and citrus liqueur means business. It clocks in at 77 proof, and just a splash will turn your favorite seltzer the perfect millennial hue.
