BEIJOS COCKTAIL | September 21, 2023
pretty cups for pretty cocktails.
Today, we are coming at you with an easy and yummy classic cocktail, but serving it up beijos style! Yesterday, Jacquelyn showed you guys the cutest disco cowgirl theme party, so you know I had to serve a cocktail to fit that theme for the adults. Nothing new here, just a nice, classic greyhound. All the essentials are here- vodka, grapefruit, club soda, and some simple honey syrup. But, here is the best part, which is our favorite! Serving it up in the cutest coupe with some sparkle and fun accessories! Looking to throw yourself a disco cowgirl theme party or night? Well, we have you covered! Sometimes, you can serve up something classic and still make it super fun and pretty for yourself or friends!

WHAT DO WE NEED FOR THIS SPARKLING GREYHOUND COCKTAIL?
Vodka. Its traditionally served with vodka, but girl there is not limits or lack of creativity over here. Use what you like! You prefer tequila, go for it!
LETS MAKE IT PRETTY!
Glassware. I had bought these pink and purple coupes from Anthropologie way before summer had begun. I mean look at these cuties, they are so fun! Can’t you just hear the “omgs” when you hand over this cocktail?
Sparkle. There are no limits to adding some sparkle. Add in edible glitter, cocktail dust, and edible ice cubes. All fun ways to add some extra into your next drink.

- Pour vodka, grapefruit juice, and honey syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and shake, then strain into the prepared glass.

Finding grapefruit a bit tart I swapped it out for Tangelo which is a little sweeter & has an even stronger orange tinge to its colouring. Really enjoying this, thank you!
