THE COOL CLUB
Are you planning a baby shower? Then you’re in the right place! What makes a memorable baby shower is all the simple but effective little details throughout the day you can do to celebrate expecting your little one. There is no better way to welcome your guests to your baby shower than greeting them with a pink or blue cocktail or mocktail (depending on how selfless you’re feeling!) upon arrival. It can be stressful organising any event, so we’ve decided to make it super easy for Mum and placed our favourite pink and blue cocktails and mocktails all in one place. Mums who have decided to leave the sex of their baby as a surprise, do not fret! We’ve also put a delicious neutral alternative cocktail or mocktail on here for you too that is perfect for your special day.
Pink Pineapple Passion Cocktail
If you’re welcoming a baby girl to the world and are in the mood to treat your guests to a little tipple upon arrival, then the Pink Pineapple Passion cocktail is perfect. It is sweet and tropical with each sip tasting like summer. Begin by adding a handful of Party Ice to a cocktail shaker with gin, Campari, pineapple juice, and fresh lime juice, then shake to combine. Next, grab a bag of Polar Cube ice and add some cubes into a tall glass before decanting the contents of the shaker. To garnish, add a pineapple chunk and orange peel and enjoy! We know this cocktail is no good for our expecting mum readers, but don’t worry we would never leave you out! If you look at our next recipe it’s the perfect pink non-alcoholic alternative.
