Beautifully Instagrammable – The color-changing effect is a showstopper.

Tropical and floral – Pineapple, guava, hibiscus, and lime bring exotic vibes.

Easy and fast – Just shake, pour, and float the gin on top.

Versatile – Serve as a light aperitif, mocktail (swap gin), or party punch.

Ingredient Highlights

Empress 1908 Gin – Known for its natural indigo color from butterfly pea blossom.

Pineapple juice – Sweet and tangy for a tropical base.

Guava purée – Rich and slightly floral; balances acidity.

Fresh lime juice – Brightens and activates the color change.

Hibiscus syrup – Adds sweetness and deep pink hue.

Soda water – For a bubbly, light finish.

Garnishes – Think pink pineapple wedges, pineapple fronds, or guava slices.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Use chilled glassware to keep the cocktail crisp.

Shake ingredients without gin for better layering.

Always pour gin last for that stunning layered effect.

Make guava purée at home by blending ripe guava and straining.

How to Make the Pink Flamingo Cocktail

Step 1: Shake the Base Add 2 oz pineapple juice, 0.75 oz guava purée, 0.5 oz lime juice, and 0.5 oz hibiscus syrup to a shaker filled with ice.

Shake until well chilled.

Step 2: Build the Cocktail Strain the shaken mixture into an ice-filled glass (highball or hurricane).

Top with soda water to your preferred fizziness.

Step 3: Add the Empress Gin Slowly pour 2 oz Empress 1908 Gin over the back of a spoon to float it gently on top.

Step 4: Garnish Add a slice of pink pineapple, pineapple fronds, or a guava wheel for tropical flair.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with grilled shrimp, fruit salad, or goat cheese appetizers.

Serve at brunch, bridal showers, or beach-themed parties.

For larger groups, batch the juice/syrup mix and top each drink with soda + gin.

Variations & Substitutions

No guava? Try mango purée or passion fruit.

Make it a mocktail – Swap gin for botanical sparkling water.

Add herbs – Basil or mint for an herbal twist.

More sparkle – Use tonic or ginger beer for bite.

Storage Tips

Pre-mix juice, lime, and hibiscus syrup up to 24 hours ahead.

Store in the fridge and shake again before serving.

Always add gin and soda fresh to maintain layers and fizz.

FAQs

Can I use canned juice?

Yes, just make sure it’s 100% juice with no added sugar.

How do I float the gin?

Use the back of a spoon to slowly pour it over your drink.

Is hibiscus syrup easy to make?

Absolutely. Simmer dried hibiscus petals with sugar and water until syrupy.

What gives the gin its color?

Butterfly pea blossom reacts to acid (lime juice) to turn pink!

Can I make this for a crowd?

Yes! Batch the base and add gin + soda per glass for best visuals.

The Pink Flamingo Cocktail is tropical elegance in a glass.

With a dreamy blend of fruit, floral syrup, and the magic of Empress 1908 Gin, this drink is guaranteed to brighten your summer.
