Yellow is one of the most attention-grabbing and enticing colors ever.
It’s the color of the sun, which signals a brand new and hopeful day.
Despite not being the usual color you will expect from your cocktails, yellow cocktails can surprise you with how beautiful they are–both in look and taste.
Sometimes, all you really need is a glass of a yellow cocktail to make your day brighter because simply looking at a bright, yellow drink can make you smile.
Yellow cocktails are usually mixed during events like bridal showers and New Year’s Eve parties, but you don’t really need a reason to make them.
The stunning hue of these cocktails is enough to make you want them even on normal days when you need a pick-me-up or just something to remind you to be happy.
These 25 festive yellow cocktails can brighten your day, no matter how bright or gloomy it might be.
Now’s the time to start bringing out any potential yellow ingredients you have!
The Frozen Mango Daiquiri and Beermosa are as yellow as cocktails could get, so be sure to put them on top of your list of yellow cocktails to try.
However, if you want something new to your taste and eyes, then you should definitely try #13!
Many people love lemonade, and it’s definitely been a staple summer drink for many ever since they were children.
However, as you grow up, you might want to be more adventurous!
This Lemon Drop Cocktail is an adventurous take on lemonade, and it has that light yellow color that signals a refreshing and satisfying drink.
2. Pansy Gimlet
Gimlet is a classic cocktail!
Give it a twist by mixing up this Pansy Gimlet that has sweet and floral notes infused in it.
When making this, make sure to shake vigorously so that the drink dilutes properly.
3. Bee’s Knees
This cocktail has the simplest ingredients, so you can make these anytime you feel like drinking a rich gin cocktail.
Bee’s Knees is like a Gin Sour, except it uses honey instead of sugar.
The honey helps give a richer and more vivid flavor to the drink.
It’s not a big surprise if your yellow cocktails are fruity, but if you want a fruity but sophisticated drink, then this is the drink for you.
This drink is overall sour with sweet tones because of the fruits infused in them.
Yellow Bird also has a smooth texture and richer flavor thanks to vanilla.
5. The Saturn
The Saturn (cool name!) is a cocktail invented by Filipino bartender Joseph Galsini.
It doesn’t only have a cool name, but it’s also a delicious drink that has managed to win awards.
Although this drink has unique ingredients, it still makes use of basic ones that you can find easily.
This drink has a tropical flavor that is a must-have in every tiki bar or tiki party.
Cocktails are amazing, but frozen cocktails are on another level.
This tropical, bright, and flavorful drink should be enough to keep the heat away.
Although you can use any rum for this drink, aged rum gives this sweet drink a light caramel flavor.
Cocktails are the best when you can’t taste a lot of alcohol in them because then, you’d be drinking one glass after another, and then you’ll be surprised that you’re already buzzed.
This Yellow Hammer cocktail has three kinds of alcohol in it, but none of those strong flavors.
This drink is perfect for those that enjoy a less strong and more fruity cocktail.
Anyone who knows anything about cocktails knows about the Tequila Sunrise.
It’s a classic drink that is effortless to prepare and reminds us of a calming sunrise.

This Black-Eyed Susan cocktail is a drink that was made to mimic the color of the flower with the same name.
It’s extremely simple to create this cocktail, which is what many people love about it.
The rich and vibrant yellow color is accompanied by citrus flavors that are ideal for summer.
Mojitos are great for summer, and so are passion fruits.
You shouldn’t let summer go without trying this drink, but you shouldn’t be held back.
Regardless of what day it is, this passionfruit mojito can help uplift your mood.
Just look at how bright it looks!
Pro tip: To be sure that your passionfruit is ripe, it should be wrinkly but not feel hollow.
13. Electric Banana
This cocktail has an incredible name and an even better taste.
You will not be disappointed because this cocktail is definitely electric.
If you prefer sweeter cocktails, this will be of interest to you.
It’s not only sweet, but the mixture of flavors–banana, almond, and pineapple–is unique and interesting.

The sourness and tartness stand out but blend flawlessly with the maple syrup and bourbon.
Transport yourself straight to Hawaii (metaphorically, of course!) with one sip of this Pineapple Fuzzy Navel.
Since peach schnapps is a low-alcohol spirit, you can enjoy more than a couple of glasses of this drink.
Pro tip: Although you don’t need a cocktail shaker to make this easy cocktail, it will give the drink a foamy texture which adds personality.
If you love gin, you will love this cocktail.
This cocktail will need to sit for around 3 days until it’s complete, so patience is the key to this one!

Throwing a big party?

Having a drink of this feels like you’re having the time of your life by the beach.
With every sip is a flavor-packed tropical vibe that you will want more and more of.
Mango and peach always make a great pair, so it’s no wonder that this cocktail tastes so wonderful.
This is another cocktail on this list that is not only a drink but can also be a dessert.
Bubbly, tart, and sweet–these are all the flavors that you can expect from a pretty drink.
Take note that this drink will come out so beautiful that you wouldn’t want to drink and ruin it, but getting a sip and experiencing the burst of flavor is more astonishing.
You can never go wrong with fruity blends!

Pro tip: This is best consumed as soon as you put it together.
25. Beermosa
A beer and mimosa in one?
Who knew that was possible?
Although it sounds mindblowing, this Beermosa is immensely easy to make.
Any beer will work with this cocktail, but if you’re unsure and prefer to be on the safe side, opt for beers that taste less strong and more neutral.
Doing that helps stop the beer from overpowering all the other flavors.
