Pink Squirrel #2

The Pink Squirrel #2 is a delightful, sweet, and creamy cocktail that offers a whimsical twist on the traditional Pink Squirrel. This version combines the rich, chocolatey flavor of white crème de cacao with the sweet tartness of grenadine, all perfectly balanced by the smoothness of milk. The result is a pink-hued, dessert-like drink that is both visually appealing and satisfying to the palate. This cocktail is often enjoyed as a playful and nostalgic treat, reminiscent of classic soda fountain drinks with a grown-up twist.

The original Pink Squirrel cocktail dates back to the 1940s or 1950s and was created in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It traditionally includes crème de noyaux, which gives it a distinct almond flavor and its signature pink color. Over time, variations like the Pink Squirrel #2 have emerged, substituting grenadine for crème de noyaux to achieve its pink color, and offering an alternative flavor profile. This adaptation maintains the essence of the original while introducing a new layer of sweetness and a lighter texture with milk, making it an inviting choice for those who enjoy creamy, dessert-style cocktails.

This milk, float or shake is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
