Sparkling Vodka Cranberry
What do you get when you mix together citrus flavored vodka, 100% cranberry juice, fresh lime juice and sparkling water?
A bubbly, red, delicious sparkling vodka cranberry cocktail!
Add a few sugared cranberries on top of these fruity bar drinks if it is holiday time, and you are all set!
Mexican Martini
There might be a hundred fruity cocktail recipes that are versions of a martini.
This one is the Mexican one with tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and olive juice.
Yes, it’s a delightful mix of sweet and savory, a bit of sour with a bit of zing.
It has elements of a martini crossed with elements of a margarita for a stunning taste.
Pink Grapefruit Martini
Fruity alcoholic drinks don’t always need the fruit to be freshly squeezed.
Sometimes, store bought juice works perfectly fine as it does for the grapefruit juice part in this grapefruit martini recipe.
It calls for grapefruit juice, vodka, orange liqueur, but then specifically fresh lime juice.
Read carefully before starting to get spectacular results.
Lychee Martini
Feeling a little more on the exotic side of things on your fruity cocktails search?
Let me introduce you to the lychee martini.
If using fresh lychee, be sure they are a ripe pink or red, remove the skin and separate the meat from the seed inside.
Then muddle it for the juice or pop it in a small food processor.
The other ingredients are vodka, lemon juice and orange liquor.
Lemon Vodka Cocktail
As quick fruity mixed drinks go, this one has a few shortcuts to be just that.
For the lemon vodka you can use bottled lemon juice, vodka, Cointreau, soda water and sugar.
That is right, just throw that sugar right in!
And shake, shake, shake!
Cranberry Prosecco Cocktail
This classy drink is one of the fruity drinks you will be asked to serve again.
This cranberry Prosecco cocktail is made of Cointreau, unsweetened cranberry juice, and Prosecco.
The presentation is stunning with sugar or white frosting on each champagne flute rim, with frozen or fresh cranberries and rosemary as garnish.
Cape Cod Cocktail
No shaker is needed for some fruity alcoholic drinks like this Cape Cod cocktail.
Vodka and cranberry juice gets mixed with ice cubes.
After stirring, squeeze the juice from a lime slice in the glass and toss it on in.
If the juice was unsweetened, add a little simple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Cranberry Moscow Mule
The mule gets a cranberry twist: ginger beer, vodka, and tart red juice. Copper mug optional.
Cranberry Mojito
Mint and lime with a cranberry pop. A party drink that looks as good as it tastes.

Apple Rum Fizz Cocktail
Apple cider, rum, and fizz. Fall’s answer to the summer spritz.

Aperol Spritz
Aperol, prosecco, soda. The orange Italian classic in three moves.
Green Mimosa
A mimosa with a green apple twist. Brunch, upgraded.
Pot O’ Gold Mimosa
A layered green mimosa that pours like a magic trick. Orange juice does the heavy lifting.
Spiced Rum Painkiller
Pineapple, orange, coconut, and spiced rum. The tropics, no flight required.
Spiced Rum Sidecar
The classic sidecar warmed up with spiced rum and citrus. Cozy but sharp.
Lemon Twist Vodka Cocktail

Classic Margarita (On The Rocks)
Tequila, lime, orange liqueur, salt. The template every other margarita copies.
