What’s a better representative of the color red than a ripe, juicy strawberry? Our Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Cocktail mimics a sweet and tart flavor with the addition of rhubarb bitters. Skip the dessert and have this pie in a cocktail instead.

To get a bright, saturated orange color, we use grapefruit juice and elderflower liqueur. The Marigold Margarita takes the traditional margarita and elevates it with an unique and innovative flavor. Finish it off with fresh marigold petals to really seal the orange deal.

Penicillin Cocktail

For those days when you need a little something to take the stress away, the Penicillin Cocktail is just what the doctor ordered. Bright and content with smoky scotch, sweet honey, spicy ginger, and lemon, this colorful cocktail will whisk you away to paradise. 

Corpse Reviver #2, A Cocktail for Pisces

You don’t have to be a Pisces to enjoy the dark and intriguing flavor profile of our Corpse Reviver #2 but it certainly helps. This colorful cocktail is not for the faint of heart with Roku Japanese Gin at its core and Lillet Apéritif chasing right after. Though some orange liqueur and lemon juice add a lovely citrus touch to one of our favorite colorful cocktails. 

Zamboni, Snow Cone Cocktail

A Zamboni, Snow-Cone Cocktail that's a vibrant blue ball of ice in a clear glass cup with a silver spoon sitting on pieces of white marble with large cubes of ice.

Who hasn’t been entranced by the huge, rolling zamboni at a hockey game? We had to make a colorful cocktail dedicated to our favorite part of the game with a Zamboni Snow Cone innovation. It’s perfectly blue to remind you of the snow cones of your youth thanks to syrupy blue curaçao.

Wild Blossom

Whether you’re indulging in purple for its association with springtime or Halloween, the Wild Blossom Cocktail fits the bill for any occasion. This colorful cocktail relies heavily on pea flower infused gin that gives the drink its gorgeous hue and compliments the mint and cucumber additions. 

Prickly Pear Margarita

When you think of pear, we’re sure green skins and slightly yellow slices come to mind. But, the Liquid Alchemist Prickly Pear actually creates a deep violet tone. This Prickly Pear Margarita colorful cocktail highlights an acidic sweetness with a tang of lime juice for the perfect finish.
