French Blonde

The French Blonde was Taylor's "drink of choice" in a recent night out with some girlfriends and wives of Kansas City Chiefs players. This underrated cocktail features floral and botanical notes with a nice hint of sweetness. To make it, shake 1 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin, 0.75 oz St. Germain, 0.5 oz Lillet Blanc, 1.5 oz fresh strained grapefruit juice, and 1 dash lemon bitters over ice, then strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a grapefruit twist!

Lavender Haze French Blonde

For a French Blonde with more of a "Lavender Haze" twist, this floral, citrus-y recipe will be your go-to. To make it (serves 2), shake 2 oz purple gin, 2 oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur, 2 oz Lillet Blanc, 4 oz Natalie's Grapefruit Juice, and 4 dashes lemon bitters over ice. Then, strain equally into two glasses and garnish with a lemon wedge and edible glitter! (via Natalie's Orchid Island Juice Company)

The Tortured Tequila Department

The mysterious color of this Taylor Swift cocktail taps into the melancholy energy of her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department. The dark red is actually from beets, which provide each sip with a nuanced flavor, and it's sooo good! To make it, combine 2 oz Mi Campo Blanco, 1 ½ oz fresh beet juice, ½ oz triple sec, ¾ oz fresh squeezed lime, and ¾ oz agave nectar in a shaker and shake over ice. Strain into an iced glass and garnish with lime before taking a swig. (via Mi Campo Tequila)

Love and Poetry Noche Electrica

This cocktail commemorates TTPD with a kick of caffeine – perfect for keeping you and your gals awake during your album listening party on release night. Rock your best red lip to go along with it! To make these Taylor Swift cocktails, shake 1 ½ oz Cuervo Tradicional® Cristalino Tequila, ½ oz coffee liqueur, ¼ oz simple syrup, and 3 oz cold brew or espresso over ice. Strain into a Collins glass and garnish with a small red pepper! (via Cuervo)

Pink Dream

This sweet-yet-tart refreshment celebrates the Lover era with such easy ingredients. To make it, combine 1.5 oz Warner's Rhubarb Gin, .5 oz lime juice, .25 oz ginger liqueur, and 1.5 oz cranberry juice in a glass with some ice. Then, top it all off with soda water and a fresh slice of rhubarb and sugar! (via Warner's Distillery)

Diet Coke & Vodka

Tay confessed to her favorite mixed drink when she was featured in Vogue's questions series back in 2016: a diet coke & vodka. We love a simple cocktail recipe, and we will be channeling her 7-years-ago self with this combo.

Rhubarb & Juliet

Once you take a sip of this Taylor Swift cocktail, it's sure to be a "Love Story." The name of this drink references the song's lyrics, but the rose and rhubarb notes are what really speak to its sweetness.

To make it, add 1.5 oz Warner's Rhubarb Gin and 6oz Fentiman's Rose Lemonade to a glass with ice, then garnish with a whole strawberry to transport yourself to a balcony in summer air. (via Warner's Distillery)

Cosmopolitan

Miss Swift single-handedly brought back the Cosmopolitan earlier this year after she was spotted sipping down a few on a dinner date with Zoë Kravitz. 👀 You can make her made-famous drink order at home with some high-quality vodka, orange liqueur, lime juice, cranberry juice, and a sweetener of your choice.

Coffee At Midnight

This tequila-based Taylor Swift cocktail references "You Are In Love" from 1989 (Taylor's Version) in the tastiest, most caffeinated way. Similar to an espresso martini, you'll need some espresso liqueur to shake it off – I mean, up.

Stir 1 oz Casa Azul Organic Reposado, 1 oz bourbon, 1 oz espresso liqueur, and 2 dashes of Xocolatl Mole Bitters over ice before straining the mixture into a coupe glass and garnishing with chocolate shavings. (via Casa Azul Tequila)

Getaway (Side)car

A typical Sidecar cocktail combines cognac, cointreau, and fresh lemon juice for a super simple yet effective sipper. Garnish your drink with sugar and a lemon twist to complete this total shotgun shot to the heart. (via Culinary Hill)

Taylorita

This sipper is sour at first, but sweet at the finish. Just like Tay's unexpected album announcements and performances, this tequila-based drink will keep you on your toes. To make it, muddle a handful of kumquats and a couple jalapeño slices in the bottom of a shaker with a squeeze of lime. Next, add 0.5 oz agave nectar, 1 oz orange liqueur, and 2 oz Mi Campo Reposado. Shake it all together, then strain into a salt-rimmed glass with ice. Finish with a splash of soda water, and get ready for some serious yum. (viaMi Campo Tequila)

Blonde Americana Cantarito

This bubbly, fruity drink features classic flavors that never go out of style, so it's the perfect sip to enjoy year-round! To make it, rim a highball glass with Tajín. Stir 2 oz Cuervo Tradicional® Reposado Tequila, 1 oz orange juice, ¾ oz grapefruit juice, and ¾ oz lime juice with ice. Top it all off with a nice splash of grapefruit soda or even some bubbly. Either way, there's won't be any "Champagne Problems" with this drink! (via Cuervo)

Old Fashioned

Explicitly mentioned in "Getaway Car," the Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that can't be beat. It's made with whiskey to pack a real punch – nothin' good starts with this glass! (via Culinary Hill)

Red Lemon Drop

To drink to Red (Taylor's Version), sip on this Lemon Drop! It's made with 1.5 oz Warner's Raspberry Gin, .75 oz lemon juice, and .25 oz simple syrup. Shake it well and double-strain the drink into a coupe glass with ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint, and you'll be loving this cocktail all too well. (via Warner's Distillery)

A Toast To My Real Friends

An alcoholic homage to "This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things," this Taylor Swift cocktail features some real bold flavors. To make it, stir 2 oz Casa Azul Organic Blanco, .75 oz Fino Sherry, 2 dashes Xocolatl Mole Bitters, and 2 dashes black walnut bitters over ice, then strain into a lowball glass over a large ice cube. Garnish it with a Luxardo cherry and an orange twist! (via Casa Azul Tequila)

Sweet Tea Prosecco Cocktail

Drink your sweet tea in the summer from Swift's track, "seven" alongside some Prosecco to really immerse yourself in the world of folklore. (via Vanilla and Bean)

Soho Drinking In The Afternoon

Even if you don't have your own "London Boy," this fruity drink will draw out your best American smile. 😉 To make it, shake 2 oz Casa Azul Organic Blanco, 1.5 oz hibiscus tea, 1 oz lime juice, .75 oz agave nectar, and a bar spoon of rosewater over ice. Strain into a rocks glass, then garnish with edible flowers and a lime slice! (via Casa Azul Tequila)
