I’m hosting a Girls Night IN & have been looking for a few delicious and ‘girly’ drinks to serve my friends (pregnant and not pregnant)! Below are 5 Pink Drink Recipes that I’m excited to share with you… because we all get sick of tea & punch, right? Some of these drinks have alcohol in the recipe and others do not. A few of them could even be mixed as a non-alcoholic beverage and then you can add liquor to it when serving… Perfect!
Try one of these Pink Drinks next time you are in the mood for something tasty & refreshing! With or without a Spike!

Obviously you can half/double/etc. all of those but that’s the basic ratio. I usually do it on taste.
