The days when a large portion of people believed that the color pink was only for girls or women are long gone. A good example that pink can also be for men is the Mary Pickford Cocktail, which, in addition to its striking color, offers an intense taste experience characterized by rum, pineapple, maraschino, and grenadine. Colorful cocktails like this one attract the glances and attention of many cocktail lovers and practically scream: "Drink me!" That one cannot resist such a delicious and visually appealing cocktail goes without saying, in our opinion.

 

Preparation

1. Pour all ingredients into a shaker and shake well with plenty of ice.
2. Strain the drink into a coupe glass and enjoy.

 

Tip: When mixing, pay attention to the exact quantities to avoid altering the taste or color of this cocktail.

Are "normal" cocktails not unique and colorful enough for you, and do you want to express your creative side when mixing a cocktail? Oh, and it should also taste absolutely delicious? Then let us introduce you to the Rum Toffee. With the caramel sauce, you can creatively garnish this cocktail, which looks like a work of art and tastes wonderfully of caramel, rum, and milk. The Rum Toffee proves without a doubt that a cocktail can also be a work of art.

 

Preparation

1. Drizzle the caramel sauce slowly in a spiral into the coupe glass and add 2-3 ice cubes.
2. Shake the milk, liqueur, and three ice cubes well in a shaker and strain the drink into the coupe glass.
3. Finally, dust the drink with a little cinnamon.

 

The name says it all with this drink. Its color layers resemble the spectrum of a – how could it be otherwise – rainbow. Its preparation is a bit more elaborate than the others on our list, but the end result will definitely be worth seeing. To achieve beautiful transitions between the individual color layers, you need a good eye. Therefore, we do not provide exact quantities in our recipe, as these ultimately depend on the size and shape of the glass. If you love both challenges and colorful cocktails, the Rainbow Cocktail is definitely for you.

 

Preparation

1. Fill the glass one-third with orange juice (orange layer) and then carefully add the grenadine syrup with the help of a bar spoon (it will sink to the bottom and create the red layer). To do this, hold the spoon diagonally against the rim of the glass and let the syrup slowly drip over the spoon into the glass.
2. Now mix the sparkling wine with the Blue Curaçao in a separate glass and then pour the mixture into your cocktail glass. Due to the carbonation in the sparkling wine, the blue color layer will remain on top. Your Rainbow Cocktail is now ready to be served.
