Cotton Candy Champagne Cocktail
Indulge in a unique fusion of flavors by combining three distinct ingredients. Start by placing a small piece of fluffy cotton candy at the bottom of your glass. Next, add a subtle hint of St. Germain liqueur to give it a sophisticated twist. Finally, top it off with Champagne or Prosecco for a celebratory touch. This unconventional combination will transport you to a whimsical world, reminiscent of Lulus’ Floral Frosé.
The sweet and tangy flavors will meld together in perfect harmony, making it the perfect treat for any occasion.
Floral Frosé
To create this refreshing Sparkling Rosé Cocktail, you’ll need the following ingredients: one chilled bottle of your favorite rosé – we recommend Miraval Rosé for its unique flavor profile. Additionally, you’ll require 2 ounces of simple syrup (recipe below), a splash of St. Germain liqueur, and some edible flowers to garnish. To start, pour the rosé into ice cube trays and freeze it for 6-8 hours or overnight.
The high alcohol content will prevent the rosé from freezing completely, leaving you with a slushy consistency that’s perfect for blending. Once frozen, pop out the rosé cubes and add them to a large blender along with the simple syrup. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and pureed, then pour it into glasses. Top each glass off with a small splash of St. Germain liqueur before garnishing with edible flowers. Finally, enjoy your Sparkling Rosé Cocktail immediately!
Sparkling Rosé Cocktail
To craft this Rhubarb Paloma Cocktail, combine 45 milliliters of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, 45 milliliters of sugar syrup, one egg white, and 90 milliliters of sparkling Moscato rosé in a shaker filled with ice. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds, ensuring everything is fully incorporated. Strain the cocktail into glasses and top it off with champagne. For a touch of elegance, garnish with edible flowers or a slice of fresh grapefruit if you prefer.
Rhubarb Paloma Cocktail
Combine 2 parts Tequila of Choice with 1 part freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, 1 part rhubarb simple syrup, and 1 part fresh lime juice. Top the mixture off with 3 parts club soda. Garnish with a flourish by adding fresh lime wheels, delicate rhubarb ribbons, and a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt. To create the signature rhubarb simple syrup, start by bringing water, sugar, and rhubarb to a boil. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes before removing it from heat.
Strain the syrup and chill it thoroughly. Next, take a few moments to prepare your glassware by rimming each glass with salt. Once ready, pour the tequila-based mixture over ice, followed by a generous splash of club soda. Finish off the look with additional garnishes of fresh lime wheels and rhubarb.
Pink Lemonade Jello Shots
To create this refreshing cocktail, you’ll need a few simple ingredients: two packets of unflavored gelatin, one cup of pink lemonade, half a cup each of regular vodka and lemon vodka or Lemon Eddy, and five lemons. This recipe yields approximately 9 lemon halves that can be cut into wedges. Here’s how to make it: First, cut your lemons in half and use a spoon – a serrated grapefruit spoon works well if you have one – to scoop out as much of the insides as possible.
Next, heat the pink lemonade over medium heat in a pan, stirring in the gelatin packets slowly until they dissolve. Combine the lemonade-gelatin mixture with your vodka liquids in a bowl and stir until everything is fully incorporated. Transfer the liquid to a pourable container and place your lemon halves into a muffin tin to keep them upright. Pour in the liquid until each half is full, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the lemons have set.
Once set, remove the tin and slice the lemons just before serving.
Pretty Prosecco Punch
To craft this refreshing punch, start by preparing your ice ring 24 hours in advance. Simply fill a Bundt pan with water and freeze it until the next day. This clever trick will provide a solid surface to keep your drink chilled and allow you to artfully arrange organic roses and fresh mint leaves on top without them sinking. The day of serving, combine three bottles of prosecco, 3/4 cup of St. Germain, and nine ounces of regular tonic in a large punch bowl with the frozen ice ring.
Finally, garnish with the reserved mint and rose petals, grab some elegant glasses and a drinks ladle, and enjoy your Rose Martini-inspired creation.
Rose Martini
To create the enchanting Blushing Bride Cocktail, start by preparing a simple yet elegant garnish. Crush edible dried rose petals in a small bowl and set aside. Next, prepare the glassware by coating part of each martini coupe with simple syrup using a gentle pressing motion to evenly distribute the mixture. This step will add a touch of sweetness to your cocktail. Now, let’s move on to the syrup itself. Combine 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 3 1/2 cups vodka in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Allow the syrup to cool before proceeding with the recipe. Once cooled, combine the syrup, lemon juice (4 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice), rose water (1/2 teaspoon), and vodka in a container. To assemble the cocktail, pour 1/4 cup of the syrup mixture into a martini shaker filled with ice. Add a splash of vodka, lemon juice, and rose water, then shake vigorously to combine.
Strain the cocktail into two prepared martini glasses and garnish each glass with crushed dried rose petals. For an added touch of whimsy, consider adding a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve your desired rosé hue.

For an added touch, create sugared rose petals by whipping an egg white until frothy, dipping individual rose petals into the mixture, and then coating them evenly with granulated sugar on both sides.
Allow the petals to air dry for at least 3-4 hours before storing them in an airtight container. This unique twist on the classic margarita is sure to delight.
