Why This is the Ultimate Pink Party Cocktail

The Raspberry Beret cocktail gets its name from its beautiful, vibrant hue and fruity flavor profile. But beyond its appearance, it is an ideal pink party cocktail for several reasons. The combination of vodka, lemonade, and sparkling rosé makes for a light and refreshing drink that's easy to enjoy in a crowd. The raspberry and ginger flavors are bright and approachable, pleasing a wide range of palates.

Additionally, the simple shaken method means you can easily batch this drink for a larger group, making it a stress-free option for hosts. The garnish possibilities, from fresh fruit to edible flowers and fun rock candy, also make it a visually stunning centerpiece for any party table.

Tips for a Perfect Raspberry Beret

• Gin or Rum? While vodka is our spirit of choice for this recipe, you can experiment with other clear spirits like gin or light rum for a different flavor profile.
• Fresh Squeeze: Don't skip the fresh lemon. A small squeeze of fresh juice adds a layer of acidity that brightens the entire drink.
• The Power of Bitters: Our El Guapo™ Love Potion Bitters add a subtle, complex flavor that elevates this drink. The bittersweet floral notes complement the fruity raspberry and zesty ginger, balancing the sweetness from the lemonade and syrup.
