Pink Gin Fizz Cocktails
12th February 2020
It’s not only wine that’s going pink, but it’s Gin too, and we have two bottles of it here to create a couple of Pink Gin Cocktails with.
We will also need two bottles of Sparkling Wine, I’ve not gone for Rosé as I want the Pink Gin to showcase its colour more.
I’ve drawn inspiration for these Cocktails from the Pink Lady Cocktail, both the Cocktails are pink in colour and delicious in flavour with strawberries included in both.
The Sweet, Pink & Creamy Cocktail
I’ll introduce the Pink Gin & Sparkling Wine I used in this Cocktail and then explain what you’ll need and how to make one.
Greyson’s Premium Pink Gin
This Gin is available at Aldi for only £12.99
