Pink Cocktail - need something not super sweet

buckswife08

I need help with a signature cocktail for a party...the host has requested something pink but not too sweet. something that men and women would drink. something you could have more than one of and not feel sickly sweet/gross afterwards.

i'm thinking something with grapefruit juice..but that seems obvious. i don't want a cosmo b/c i think it's obvious too.

something with great fresh fruit juice would be great.

Thanks!

How about a pink lemonade drink? w vodka and a lemon wedge?

champagne is kinda pinkish.

Maybe a tart lemondrop with just a little raspberry liquor to add the pinkish color? If the lemon drop is tart enough the sweetness of the raspberry liquor may balance it out. My husband really likes lemon drops but I think in general men tend to think any pink drinks fruity and girly.

Is a Cape Cod too red?

I cannot remember if it a sea breeze or a bay breeze but the components are cranberry juice, grapefruit juice and vodka. 

Newmans' Pink Lemonade for a virgin alternative is not too sweet and very pink.

How about a Dirty Shirley? Vodka, Sprite, and grenadine!

We call them Pink Panty Pulldowns (not sure why) 2 minute maid frozen rasberry lemonade or pink lemonade cans (the ones you are supposed to mix with water), 6 coors light beer and vodka. Mix together and and there you go. It needs to stay cold because of the beer. The beer is the substitue for the water. YUMMY and the guys even loved it! You can drink them all night!
