Cocktail of the week: Pink lemonade

Seeing as February is the month of love, whether you celebrate Valentines or Galentines, it seems only fitting that this week's cocktail is a Pink lemonade cocktail. This refreshing pink cocktail is the perfect thing now that the days are getting brighter and slightly warmer, as we head into spring.

Pink lemonade cocktails are vibrant, sweet, tangy and the perfect drink for a theme, as you can make small subtle changes to fit with what you want. Birthday party? Add some edible glitter into the mix to make it shimmer. Spring BBQ? Make some edible flower ice cubes to add a touch of that spring time feeling.

This cocktail is also incredibly easy to make, and with not so many ingredients needed, it's a lot cheaper than most!

Here is what you'll need:

• 2 cups ice
• 180 ml vodka (3/4 cup)
• 80 ml Lime juice (1/3 cup)
• 80 ml Cranberry juice (1/3 cup)
• 60 ml Malibu (1/4 cup)
• 1.25 quart (litre) Lemonade (Sprite)

To make it, it's simple. All you have to do is combine all of the ingredients in a large pitcher or glass filled with ice. Add the soda last.

You should note that the cranberry juice dictates the 'pinkness' of the drink and therefore if you're going for a soft pink you should add less Cranberry juice in contrast to a vibrant pink where you should add a bit more.

Enjoy your fresh pink cocktail!
