About this drink
Pink & Bubbly belongs to the American brunch tradition, where citrus liqueur and vodka meet a glass of cold sparkling wine to make something light, sweet and photogenic. It is no century-old classic but a modern party drink made to be dressed up in a coupe or flute at baby showers and Sunday brunch. The grenadine brings the colour, the limoncello the scent of ripe lemons, and the bubbles do the rest.
