Yes it’s pink, and yes, it’s glorious.
Ever heard of a liqueur called NUVO ?
How about Ciroc? That really expensive top shelf vodka? Yea, that stuff. Made by the same folks over there in France. NUVO is a blend of premium triple distilled French vodka infused with French sparkling wine and natural fruit nectar. It’s predominant fruit flavor is raspberry – though incredibly light, and it comes in a fancy bottle with a pink lid. You can’t miss it it’s about the pinkest thing in the liquor isle.
Anywho, I just happened to have some in my fridge and was thinking that maybe drinking it by itself was a little wasteful, so I came up with this cute little drink. I call it the Pink Citrus Squeeze. My original intent for this post was to look up a recipe by NUVO themselves and create one of those, but upon investigation of their website, their drink ideas were a little flat. Most of them calling for you to mix it with different flavored vodkas. I was a little off put by that but I tried it anyway…BLECH. Mixing something that tastes a lot like vodka with – what? more vodka! You can imagine that doesn’t make for a very tasteful drink. So I squeezed some lime juice into the mix, and added a little grenadine. It really brought out the flavor of the Nuvo. Incredibly refreshing and whats even better about it is that it’s pink. Add yourself a little umbrella and you got yourself a little pink paradise.

Pour Nuvo and Vodka into a rocks glass filled with ice. Squeeze lime wedge and drop it in the drink. Splash some grenadine on top and you’ve got yourself a very pink and tasty drink.
