How to Make a Pink Cadillac Cocktail

A pink Cadillac cocktail is a classic drink that would work well for a vintage-themed party, as the pink Cadillac reached the height of its popularity right around the time of its invention: 1973. Combining vodka with the raspberry-flavored liqueur Chambord and the anise-flavored liqueur Galliano, the pink Cadillac is a strong cocktail with a creamy taste. This recipe makes two pink Cadillacs, but you can easily double the ingredients to make more.

Things You'll Need

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Crushed ice
  • 3 oz. vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz. Chambord
  • 1/2 oz. Galliano
  • 2 oz. sweet and sour syrup
  • 1 oz. half and half
  • Orange slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker half-full with crushed ice.

  2. Add the vodka, Chambord, Galliano, sweet and sour syrup and half and half to the shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.

  3. Strain the pink Cadillac cocktails into two chilled cocktail glasses. Garnish each glass with an orange slice and serve immediately.
