P is for Pink!

Great, you have the basics. The wonderful thing about the ultimate Barbie drink is that you can personalize it, and what better way to do that than to make your drink pink? Most of the recipes above already have that pink hue, but in case you want to make them pinker or automatically convert some other drinks to Barbie status, here are a few ways to tickle your drink pink!

• A drop or two of red coloring

• Puree raspberries and add them to your drink!

• Cranberry or pomegranate juice

• For pink ice cubes: boil water with dried hibiscus flowers, and freeze them in an ice cube tray

Fun Add-Ons

For each drink, the best way to present it in a way that feels fabulous is to pay attention to the different garnishes that you can add. Whether that’s a parasol, a strawberry slice, a cherry, or a pink sugar rim, the possibilities are endless! Don’t forget your add-ons, and definitely don’t leave the fun at home.

Hey, Barbie!

Ultimately, the best part about these drinks is making them–maybe alone, listening to the Barbie soundtrack; or together with the people you love. Gather all your Barbies for this fun-loving activity–and celebrate your big or little wins, together. Hey Barbie! Let’s party.
