When it comes to cocktails, classics are some of my favorites However, I love to mix things up every once in awhile. And, if I can make something more colorful, then I’m on it!

It’s such a fun, unexpected take on a classic. I also like this addition because it helps to cut the taste of the tequila. Despite its blue hue, the curaçao has a orange-like flavor that works really well in a margarita.

This Queen of Hearts Cocktail is a great drink to enjoy while watching Alice in Wonderland or Alice Through the Looking Glass.

I have a ton of cute bar stuff glasses, rimmer, shakers, even a cute rolling cart that I haven’t stocked and styled yet. So I love to make a little creation if and when I have time on the weekend.

This is so much easier than it looks… Follow along I have all the details you need.

The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland has a very distinctive look. Dressed in a red and black Elizabethan style gown in red and black, she is a foreboding royal figure.

So, any cocktail bearing the name Queen of Hearts has to have a dramatic look. I think you’ll agree this Queen of Hearts Cocktail achieves that.

How to Make a Queen of Hearts Cocktail

What You Need

• One 8 ounce glass
• One ounce of Malibu
• 1 1/2 ounces of Raspberry Vodka
• Ginger ale
• One tablespoon Grenadine
• Black sanding sugar
• Simple syrup

How To Create

First, add simple syrup enough to a small plate (like an appetizer plate) to dip the rim of your glass in.

On a second appetizer plate add BLACK sanding sugar.

Wet the rims of the glasses with simple syrup by gently dipping them into the plate, then dip the rim into the black sugar.

In a large bartender shaker add the Malibu and Raspberry Vodka and lightly shake to combine.

Fill a glass 3/4 full with ice. Pour the liquors into the glass.

Next add enough ginger ale to the glass until it’s 3/4 full.

Add your grenadine and lightly stir.

Finally, add a straw so you can sip and enjoy!

So Easy, Pretty & Refreshing !!

Hope you enjoy !!! Now go relax !
