Presentation Tips
You can make any of these cocktails extra special by getting creative with your presentation.
Festive Garnishes
You can always add edible flowers as a garnish. These look beautiful, and are perfectly safe to have around your cocktails.
Or you could get some edible glitter and either sprinkle it right into drinks or make a beautiful glitter rim on your cocktail glasses.
Nearly any cocktail benefits from a fruit garnish. You can cut citrus fruit or strawberries and put them on the rim of a glass. Or you can spear berries and lay the spear across the glass or down in.
You can also just slice up fruit sangria style and add it right into many cocktails. Use your creativity! The options are endless!
Chilled Glasses
Chilling your glassware before serving helps drinks stay colder longer without ice. This is especially helpful for outdoor parties in summertime.
Including Mocktails
Because Pride is all about inclusivity, we’ve included a couple of mocktails. If you’re throwing a party, chances are you’ll have some designated drivers or non-drinkers, and they deserve fabulous-looking and tasting drinks, too!

Pride Cocktails
Rainbow Paradise Cocktail Recipe
The Rainbow Paradise Cocktail makes a wildly colorful addition to any Pride celebration. It's layered to actually look like a rainbow, and it tastes wonderfully fruity.
Loco Unicorn, Rainbow Colored LocoNut Cocktail
Another layered rainbow drink is the Loco Unicorn cocktail recipe, which features Captain Morgan LocoNut, a rich, delicious, coconut liqueur. It's also got grenadine and blue curacao, so it forms layers or pastel blue, pink and bright red when you pour it. The flavor is coconut blended with orange and berry.
Magic Pixie Drink Recipe
This one is so easy to make, which gives it a big advantage as a party drink! You can actually pour one of these while you’re ironing and watching TV. It's deliciously fruity, with flavors of sour apple, watermelon, peach and cranberry.
Fairy Belle Cocktail recipe
The Fairy Belle Cocktail is a pink, slightly creamy or frothy drink, and the grenadine makes it pretty sweet. In other words, it's just what you might have imagined from the name.
Skittles Vodka Recipe
While not exactly a cocktail, Skittles Vodka makes a rainbow of flavors! Each infusion tastes just like the candy, but with that vodka kick.
Sex on the Beach Cocktail Recipe
The Sex on the Beach cocktail is a classic with vodka, peach schnapps with orange and cranberry juice. The taste is fruity with just enough tartness to keep it from being too sweet.
Jolly Rancher Vodka Recipe
Jolly Rancher Vodka is a lot like Skittles vodka, only it's quicker and easier to make, taking less than 24 hours. And you can get a lot of different colors from it, and even blend them together to make your own. They taste just like the candy
Red Hot Shots
How about a shot drink that tastes just like Red Hot candies? That's the Red Hot Shot. An absolutely delicious little drink bursting with that cinnamon flavor.
Jubilee Cocktail Recipe

Green Fairy Drink Recipe {Classic Cocktail}
The Green Fairy cocktail is a very old classic, probably one of the oldest cocktails in the world. Word has it that after drinking it, you might see the Green Fairy spirit of absinthe!
Gin And Sin
The taste is a nice combination of orange, lemon, berry and some sharpish herbal notes from the gin. It's an easy flavor to love, even if you aren't a big fan of gin. And if you pour it just so, you get a sunrise effect.
Flamingo Cocktail
The Flamingo Cocktail is a reddish pink drink that cries out for an umbrella and any other kitschy cocktail accessories you have on hand.
Mimosa Drink Recipe
The Mimosa is a classic brunch cocktail, but it's also wonderful for celebrations and parties. Most people know it includes orange juice and champagne, but it also has a little bit of orange liqueur which adds to the flavor.
Melon Mimosa Champagne Cocktail
The Midori Mimosa blends - you guessed it - Midori with champagne and just a touch of lemon juice and simple syrup. It's a fresh-tasting cocktail that's perfect for brunch.
Cuddles on the Beach mocktail
This one is a non-alcoholic version of the classic Sex on the Beach cocktail. It's all fruit juice, and so delicious, and perfect for any designated drivers or non-drinkers.
Blue Shoe Mocktail
This is another mocktail we created to look as beautiful as any cocktail, so non-drinkers feel included, too! It features the flavors of berry, cranberry and lemon-lime.
Sex in the Driveway Cocktail Recipe
The Sex in the Driveway cocktail recipe is a variation on the Sex on the Beach cocktail. It replaces the cranberry juice with blue curacao, so you get a drink that's blue in color and more orange in flavor.
Blue Skies Cocktail Recipe
The Blue Skies is a bubbly citrus flavored bright blue cocktail. The color is fun and the taste is easy to love.
Caribbean Mist Cocktail
The Caribbean Mist cocktail is one of those drinks that's all about the flavor, except for the part that's about the color. It blends citrus, pineapple, lemon and coconut notes into a lovely blue-green liquid reminiscent of the Caribbean sea.
Hanky Panky Cocktail recipe
The Hanky Panky has a flavor that hints at sweet orange with cinnamon and cloves, but isn't quite any of those, and certainly isn't very sweet. The overall flavor is bittersweet, like dark chocolate, with the bitterness and sweetness both present and yet canceling each other out.
Vodka Gummy Bears
Gummy bears absorb vodka, swell up, and turn into delicious, soft, juicy alcohol treats! For adults only.
Strawberry Sunrise Drink Recipe
The Strawberry Sunrise is a dessert cocktail. You can certainly drink it as an aperitif or with a meal or by itself, but if you've got a hankering for sweets, this drink will take care of it.
Starburst Vodka Tutorial
Yes, it's yet another candy-vodka infusion. This Starburst infused vodka ends up tasting a lot like the candy. You can divide the candies by flavor to make batches for each one, or combine flavors if you prefer.
Remember: Never let anyone treat you like a yellow starburst. You are a pink starburst.
Emerald Rain Drink Recipe
The Emerald Rain blends Hpnotiq with orange juice and lime to create a flavor that has sharp citrus notes at the foreground with mellow tropical fruit playing a close second. It’s also such a pretty shade of green, as you would expect from the name.
Hpnotiq Breeze Tropical Cocktail Recipe
The Hpnotiq Breeze is a - you guessed it - Hpnotiq-based cocktail. It also features coconut rum and pineapple juice to add to the tropical fruit flavors in the liqueur.
Teal Squeal Drink Recipe
The Teal Squeal is a blue-green, blended cocktail that tastes mostly of pineapple, but also has hints of orange. There's nothing particularly subtle about this one.
Love Bite cocktail recipe
The Love Bite cocktail is a layered shooter, like the B52, only more fruity and less sweet. It blends cherry and orange liqueurs with a bit of cream.
