You feel like this too? 

Alright, while we can’t magically transport you to the Maldives or some other dreamy location, we can help with the cocktail part of the scenario.

If, like us, you love a girly cocktail or two, read on for some cocktail recipes you can make yourself.

From rum-based cocktails to girly vodka drinks, we’ve got it all!

What is a girly cocktail?

Girly cocktails are usually sweet, colourful, and beautifully garnished with a cute umbrella or fruit. If a cocktail is made up of mainly fruit juice, the more feminine it’s considered to be.

So, basically, a Cosmopolitan, Pina Colada, and a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri are all thought to be girly drinks. But girly drinks aren’t always fruity or colourful, but they are always sweet.

Well, we love sweet alcoholic drinks so as you can imagine we adore girly cocktails and we thought why not make a compilation of girly alcoholic drinks that can easily be made at home.
