Pink Squirrel
This delicious pink squirrel cocktail is the perfect Valentine's Day drink. It is sweet and creamy with a hint chocolate flavor. Creme de Noyaux can easily be found on Amazon. You can also substitute it for Grenadine or Disarrono Velvet.
The Pink Squirrel was first invented in the 1940s by a Milwaukee cocktail lounge. Although the original recipe included ice cream in the cocktail, it has changed over time. The original recipe was a milkshake with spirits. It was a big hit in the Midwest where it remained popular for decades. It lost its creaminess after the 1970s.
This variation uses two types of fruit spirit to give it the pink hue. A variety of fruit preserves can also be added to the drink to enhance its flavor and color.
