Step 1: Chill the glass
Place a coupe, martini, or highball glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare your cocktail.

Step 2: Prepare the shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Add vodka (or gin), pineapple juice, watermelon juice or pink lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and lemon juice.

Step 3: Shake it like a flamingo dancing
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. You want everything cold and lightly frothy.

Step 4: Prepare your glass
Discard the ice water or remove the glass from the freezer. If rimming the glass, gently wet the rim with lemon juice and dip it into pink salt or Tajín.

Step 5: Strain and pour
Strain the cocktail into your glass filled with fresh crushed ice (or serve straight-up if using a coupe).

Step 6: Add the fizz and flair
Top with a splash of soda water or lemon-lime soda. Garnish with an edible flower, lemon twist, or candy stick. Serve with a funky straw and flamingo stirrer if you have one!
