I have been making Ornamentinis for years. Click here for the original recipe.
This year I wanted to get a little creative and change it up a bit. I wanted something a little nontraditional.
Inspiration hit one day when I was picking up my favorite drink at Starbucks! Add a little vanilla vodka (or your favorite liquor) and this would be a great cocktail.
And even better, serve it in a Christmas Ornament. Who doesn’t love a fun Christmas Cocktail served in an ointment?

Ingredients for Pinkity Drinkity Ornamentini
- 1 cup Cran-Mango Juice
- 1 cup Welches White Grape Juice (This is optional – it doesn’t really add to the color of the drink)
- 1 1/2 oz Vanilla Vodka – or regular if that’s all you have
- 6-8 pieces Frozen Dragon Fruit – This is where the intense color comes from. Target typically sells this if your grocery store doesn’t.
- Pink Glitter for Drinks
- Garnish with freeze-dried strawberries or mint

Instructions:
In a small glass measuring cup, add all ingredients and stir. Allow the drink to sit for 5-10 minutes for the color to intensify.
Once your desired color is acquired, strain the liquid to remove the dragon fruit and its seeds.
Using a funnel, pour the drink into the clear ornament and place it in the martini glass.
Before and After Adding the Dragon Fruit
Adding the dragon fruit is where the magic happens. The longer you let it sit, the deeper the color gets.

Tips and Tricks for the Pinkity Drinkity Ornamentini
- Don’t skip the dragon fruit. the color will not be the same if you do.
- If you are making this for a crowd, make it in a large pitcher instead of one at a time.
- Sit the ornament on top of a regular glass to hold it steady while you pour the cocktail.
- This drink is very forgiving. You don’t really need to stress a lot over the measurements. As long as you add the dragon fruit, you will love this drink.
- Some of the Starbucks refresher drinks call for coconut milk to be added. I have made it that way before and it does create a softer pink color. But the milk and juices will separate over time. So this may not be the best recipe if you want to make them ahead of time.
