Barbie Drink Variations
Barbie has quite a wardrobe of options, just like this drink does when it comes to different ingredients and ideas.
- Skip the soda and grenadine and instead strain your drink into a chilled coupe glass for a pop of pink in an elegant glass. Make it even more elegant by topping off with a splash of prosecco.
- Enjoy your Barbie drink as a Barbie shot with a simple combination of ½ ounce equal parts of coconut rum, vodka, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Shake the ingredients together with ice and strain into a shot glass.
- Top your Barbie cocktail with a flavored club soda such as raspberry, orange, or vanilla.
- Use a little less pineapple juice and add extra pink lemonade for a pinker look.
- Replace the vodka with Pink Whitney for more vibrant pink color and an additional pop of lemon flavor.
Barbie Cocktail Garnishes
A Barbie set, be it doll or house, comes with numerous accouterments. Let your garnish follow that path.
- Champion the pink look by using a fresh strawberry or raspberry.
- Complement the coral pink tones with a slice or wheel of grapefruit or a grapefruit peel.
- Rub the rim of the glass with a lemon wedge and dip the rim in pink sugar or sprinkles.
- Pierce a cherry or two with a cocktail skewer.
- Add a dash of pink petal dust for some spectacular shimmer.
