Ingredients

A few carefully selected ingredients create this bright and refreshing Pink Tulip Cocktail. Here’s what you’ll need to grab on your next grocery store run.

Cranberry Juice: Adds a vibrant color and a tart sweetness that balances the cocktail.
Citrus or Peach Vodka: Choose whichever you like best! The vodka infuses a bright, fruity note that elevates the drink’s fresh flavor profile.
St. Germain Liqueur: This exquisite elderflower liqueur brings a touch of floral sophistication and hints of tropical fruit. I also think it brings forward a grapefruit flavor in this particular drink.
Fresh Mint: Offers a refreshing, aromatic garnish that complements the drink’s citrusy notes.
Lemon Slices: Not just a garnish, but a zesty accent that adds a pop of citrusy brightness to the mix. It’s the perfect finishing touch.
