A tall, beautiful drink with a blushing, delicious garnish. That’s the secret behind the success of our Pink Gin and Prosecco Cocktail.
We call her tall and beautiful because she comes in her transparent champagne flute heels and woos everybody in the room, first with her pink color and then with her luscious taste.
You’ve got an idea about her taste and Instagram-worthy looks now, but what do you know about her background?
This cocktail has a cocktail-ception story to it. How? Well, technically, the Pink Gin itself was a cocktail first. A German doctor named Johann Siegert in Angostura, Venezuela came up with a recipe for tropical stomach ailments and perfected the formula for Angostura Bitters in 1824.
However, the problem with the recipe was its bitterness. This called for the experimental addition of gin – leading to a more palatable taste and delightful blush. Eventually paving way for the cocktail that is now known as the Pink Gin.
Later, the Pink Gin inspired many more boozy drinks – including the one we’re going to share with you today. Our version is more of a valentine special – you see, because of the looks.
But we’re not going to limit your taste buds for the big day only. She’s all yours any time of the year if you can get her ready and dolled up.
Find any Prosecco with fruity/floral notes but make sure it’s a pink one. Let’s go with Rose Prosecco for this particular recipe.
Now fill your kitchen with these magic ingredients before you move forward:
Important note: I like to shake it (that’s what she said). But you may also stir it if you don’t have a shaker.
How Do You Make A Pink Gin And Prosecco Cocktail
If you truly want to enjoy your drink, you’d want those prosecco bubbles in your glass. That’s why you should be using a champagne flute. Put some ice into it and set it to chill.
Get your cocktail shaker, add the pink gin and lemonade, throw in 3-4 crushed ice cubes, and shake furiously for 10-12 seconds.
Pour the gin-y and lemony juice into the champagne flute but no more than half of the flute.
Now, the chilled chief ingredient – the Rose Prosecco. Pour it up to the top and enjoy the view.
Make it more aesthetic by garnishing the tall glass with strawberry slices.
This is the step where you sit back and enjoy your Pink Gin and Prosecco Cocktail.
