Barbie is on everybody’s mind at the moment. I get why. I’ve never been that excited about a movie in a very long time. And I was never a fan of Barbie. I had some dolls but never really played with them. As a child, I was more into Playmobil if I am being honest. However, as an adult who loves pink and the marketing around the movie, I had to get in on the hype. And that’s how I came up with this list of Barbie-inspired cocktail recipes.
While those cocktails do not really follow the typical Barbie color scheme with its unique and trademarked pink, those Barbie-inspired cocktails do come in all shades of pink. Sprinkles, glitter or cotton candy, the garnish and decorations are the cutest. Gin, vodka or Prosecco lover, there will be something in this list for you!
Most of those Barbie-inspired cocktail recipes only require a few ingredients, on very often quite similar ones. There are plenty of Gin-based cocktails so you can make a few in one evening without having to get a ton of different liquors! Scroll down to see the seven pink cocktails!
