Ingredients

• Vodka — 2 oz.
• Pink lemonade — 5 oz.
• Lemon juice — 1 tbsp.

4. Garnish the cocktail glasses with slices of lime, and pour.

5. This recipe serves 2.

Substitutions

• Garnishes — If lime isn’t your cup of tea, raspberries make a good garnish, with their crimson looks and tarty flavor. Strawberries, on the other hand, might make your drink even better.

• Sweet and sour mix — While a splash of lime juice will take your Pink Whitney to a whole another level, you can always aim for better. The sweet and sour mix does everything lime juice does, and even more.

• Sprite — It’s no secret that Sprite pairs incredibly well with vodka. And it works even better in our Pink Whitney drink recipe. Swap lemon juice for a splash of Sprite.

Variations

• Not strong enough? — This colored refreshment is not heavy on the alcohol side, with only a kick of vodka to keep you going. If that’s not enough for you, try making your Pink Whitney with half vodka and half rum. We recommend using Malibu rum.

• Any color you like — Though Pink Whitney is colorful enough to give pink rabbits a run for its money, it has the potential to be even more cheerful. Add a splash of pomegranate juice or cranberry for even more flair.

Equipment

• Cocktail glasses.

• Cocktail jigger.

• Cocktail shaker.

• Ice pack.

Storage

• While you can always store your Pink Whitney in your fridge in a sealed bottle, it should be consumed immediately, while still fresh and cold.

• You can store the vodka at room temperature. If you like your drinks cold, feel free to place the vodka in your fridge as well.
