This post is all about beautiful & easy spring cocktails.
Throw open those windows and get that cocktail shaker ready! It’s time to celebrate spring with one of these beautiful and easy spring cocktails. Whether you’re hosting a spring event or would simply like to enjoy a bright + beautiful cocktail at the end of the day, we have 10 gorgeous, colorful options that will have you excited for spring!
These vibrant, easy spring cocktails also run the spectrum of spring colors — from chartreuse green, to deep pink, to pale pink, to orange (!), to pale yellow — there is a shade to compliment any table or event. We love beauty as much as we do ease around here.
1. The Spring Fling Cocktail
Peanut Butter & Fitness features this beautiful spring cocktail, which highlights the spring season not only through its flavors, but it’s bright chartreuse green hue as well. Truly, no color speaks to spring better (in my opinion), than this one!
2. The Aviation Cocktail
The Aviation Cocktail is a classic gin drink. While gin is a wonderful liquor at any time of the year, I love to feature drinks with gin especially in the springtime given its floral notes (though some brands are much more floral than others). The crème de violette liqueur gives this lovely drink its beautiful lavender color, and also pairs well with the gin to further impart floral flavors.
3. The May Queen Floral Cocktail
This stunning spring cocktail requires a bit of planning ahead, but is still simple in its steps. Combine elderflower liquor (so floral!) with hibiscus rose syrup and a few other lovely ingredients, and you have a gorgeous and veryyy sippable cocktail on your hands.
4. Empress Carrot Cake
I’m not sure about you, but the Empress Carrot Cake screams Easter to me! We often have carrot cake as one of our desserts on Easter, so this drink feels like another fun way to incorporate this flavor. This is so simple, as it calls for carrot & pineapple juices and gin. That’s it! If you want to get fancy, there are options to add the carrot cake flair, including a cream cheese foam! Oh my goodness, yes please.
5. The Peony Royale Cocktail
What represents spring more than peonies?! This is another simple cocktail calling for spring-focused ingredients like peony vodka (um, yes) and cherry juice, as well as a few others. What a stunning drink to serve your friends among the blooming flowers.
6. Wet Your Whistledown Cocktail
We love a Bridgerton theme! The creator of this cocktail explains how each ingredient is inspired by an element of the super-popular show — what awesome attention to detail which makes this one extra fun. Whether or not you are a Bridgerton fan, this easy spring cocktail truly is both simple and springy.
7. Spring Blossom Cocktail
Birds Party celebrates cherry blossom season with this one! With cherry brandy and sparkling lemonade, this cocktail is sure to please as the blossoms usher in spring.
Another super simple, yet delicious option with a similar theme from Beijos: Cherry Blossom Cocktail.
8. April Shower Cocktail
The April Shower Cocktail is stunning, isn’t it? It’s a classic drink which uses grapefruit to brighten and balance the beautiful flavors. What a fun way to celebrate April — rain or shine!
9. The Lemon Prosecco Float
I just love lemon in the springtime. For me, when I’m reaching for lemon-centered desserts and flavors, it truly means spring is here. This Lemon Prosecco Float is a delightful, classic Italian cocktail which could not be simpler: lemon sorbet, drizzle of vodka, topped with Prosecco. What a joy in a coupe this is!
10. Lillet Rosé Cocktail
This Lillet Rosé Cocktail might be one of my favorites. We love a rosé cocktail in the spring — this one uses Lillet Rosé and is topped with bubbles (and incorporates grapefruit – yes!). It’s simple, it’s bubbly, it’s pale pink, it’s bright & floral — in my book, it doesn’t get much better.
