A sparkling cocktail is the perfect way to feel a little fancy or mark a special occasion. The Blood Orange and Pink Gin Sparkler blends Prosecco, blood orange juice, pink gin, and a touch of lemon for a bright, citrus-forward, slightly sweet drink that’s as beautiful as it is refreshing.
What is Pink Gin?
Pink gin is a colorful variation of traditional gin made by infusing gin with red fruits—commonly strawberries—or botanicals that lend a pink hue. The result is usually fruitier and a touch sweeter than classic gin, making it appealing to people who prefer a softer, more approachable spirit in cocktails.
Where to find Pink Gin
Pink gin is widely available at most liquor stores. Popular options include Beefeater Pink and Gordon’s Pink, though many other brands offer excellent versions. Try a few to find the flavor and sweetness you prefer in cocktails.
Can I use regular orange juice if I can’t find blood oranges?
Yes. Regular orange juice will work, but the cocktail’s color and sweetness will change slightly. Blood orange juice offers a distinctive deep color and often a sweeter, more complex citrus flavor. If blood oranges are out of season, consider using premium store-bought blood orange juice, a high-quality orange soda, or experimenting with blends to get a similar profile.
