Easy Pitcher Pink Flamingo Cocktail Recipe

When it comes to parties and gatherings, I always love to make big batch cocktails or pitcher cocktails when possible. Even if a drink only takes a few seconds, who wants to stand at the table mixing drinks all night? Not me!

That’s why I love this Fizzy Pink Flamingo drink. It’s a twist on the classic Pink Flamingo Cocktail and prepared right in the pitcher. Just pour and enjoy!

Not to mention, this pink drink has a light and refreshing flavor that’s just so perfect on a hot day. Just picture yourself floating in the pool with one of these in your hands!

What is a Pink Flamingo?

The Pink Flamingo is a relatively new cocktail, originating in 2010 by a bartender and Banks 5 Island White Rum owner. The original fruity drink consisted of rum, grapefruit soda, and lime juice served in a highball glass.

Now, there are many, many versions of the cocktail – some that do not include any of the original ingredients. “Pink Flamingo” has more or less become the name for any citrusy, light pink colored drink.

Ingredients

• Grenadine – Adds the pink hue to the cocktail.
• Sweet and sour mix – If you don’t have any, add lemon juice and simple syrup to taste.
• Vodka – Any decent vodka will work. You can even try flavored vodka, like lemonade vodka, or swap it out for run.
• Club soda – Adds the fizz to the fizzy flamingo.
• Lemon slices – For garnish.
• Ice

Cocktail Variations

• Use rum instead of vodka. If vodka isn’t your preferred drink, you can easily make your Pink Flamingo drink with rum. Coconut rum pairs well with this combination of flavors.
• Add grapefruit soda. Instead of the club soda, go ahead and use the OG grapefruit soda. You may want to use 1/2 and 1/2 or reduce the amount of sweet and sour mix added.
• Add fruit juice. Cranberry juice can be used in place of the grenadine for the pink color and pineapple juice can be added to create a more tropical flavor. Grapefruit juice and orange juice are other options as well.
• Maraschino cherry juice. If you don’t have any grenadine on hand, you can use maraschino cherry juice to achieve the red color.

How to Make a Fizzy Pink Flamingo

This party cocktail comes together in just a few steps.

• Prepare the pitcher. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes and lemon slices.
• Combine ingredients. Pour in the vodka, sweet and sour mix, grenadine, and club soda. Stir will.
• Serve. Pour into glasses and garnish with a lemon slice. Enjoy. Feel free to garnish with other tropical fruits as well.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

If you opt to make this pitcher cocktail in advance instead of serving it immediately, I recommend omitting the ice and the club soda. You can combine everything else and keep it in the fridge, then add the club soda just before serving so you don’t lose the “fizz”.

You can add the ice before serving or just pour the drink over the ice.
