RECEPTION Cocktail Hour 12896 views

Serving cocktails for the champagne toast is a big new trend for the wedding reception. So this week we have consulted the mixologists and come up with three pink cocktails. And yes, this can be done at home.

Trend setting brides are shunning traditional champagne receptions to add a Pinky twist to their big days. Uber stylish spirit, Pinky, which has been hailed as the world’s most beautiful vodka, has unveiled a selection of delicious champagne cocktail recipes that are guaranteed to add an extra touch of sparkle to the special day.

Beautiful brides to be will fall in love with Pinky champagne cocktails such as the Pinky Royale – a raspberry flavoured cocktail garnished with an edible flower, the Pinky Midnight Mimosa – a light citrus champagne cocktail and of course the Hibiscus Pinky Valentini with its subtle blueberry flavour.

Already a firm favourite with the Hollywood gliterrati, Pinky’s refreshing champagne cocktails are guaranteed to appeal to the wedding guests. Distilled five times from pure glacial water and Swedish winter wheat, Pinky is hand blended with violets, rose petals and wild strawberries, from which it takes its soft pink hue, amongst other botanicals to create a delicate flavour, heightening the taste of any drink it is mixed with.
