Pro Tips for the Best Sour Pink Cocktail

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients – A good lemon vodka and fresh cranberry juice make all the difference.
Blend long enough – The egg needs time to create a smooth, frothy texture.
Chill your glass before serving – This keeps the cocktail extra refreshing.
Want it sweeter? Add ½ oz simple syrup or a little more grenadine.
For an extra creamy version – Add ½ oz of heavy cream for a richer texture.

Substitutions & Variations Sour Pink Cocktail

Non-Alcoholic Version – Replace lemon vodka with non-alcoholic lemon syrup or lemon soda for a kid-friendly drink.

Tropical Pink Punch – Swap cranberry juice for pineapple or passion fruit juice for a tropical twist.

Spicy Pink Margarita – Add a pinch of chili powder or a dash of hot sauce for a bold kick.

Cotton Candy Sour – Drop a small piece of cotton candy on top for a fun, sugary finish!

Storage Instructions Sour Pink Cocktail

Best Served Fresh – The egg creates a frothy texture that’s best enjoyed immediately after blending.

Make-Ahead Tip:

You can pre-mix the lemon vodka and cranberry juice and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Blend with ice and egg just before serving for the freshest taste!

Do Not Freeze – The texture will separate, and the egg won’t blend properly once frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to use a raw egg in a cocktail?

Yes! Fresh, pasteurized eggs are safe to consume in cocktails. If you’re concerned, you can use egg white powder or aquafaba (chickpea brine) as a substitute.

Can I make this without a blender?

A blender is ideal, but you can shake the ingredients vigorously in a cocktail shaker to create a similar frothy effect.

Can I use regular vodka instead of lemon vodka?

Yes! Just add ½ oz fresh lemon juice to get that citrusy punch.

How do I make it even more frothy?

Blend for a bit longer or use just the egg white instead of the whole egg for extra foam.
