“The Life of a Showgirl” Inspired Drink

I’m SO excited for Taylor Swift’s newest album release! I’ve been so inspired by the showgirl aesthetic and all of her fun promos! When she released “The Tortured Poet’s Department”, I made a drink recipe and it was so much fun, I knew I had to do it again for this album. Using the orange and mint green color scheme, sparkles, and overall glitzy theme, I made a drink that’s not only delicious, but also totally on brand for “The Life of a Showgirl” album release! This might be my favorite drink I’ve made to date! I included other versions of the recipe for those who prefer a more spirit forward drink, and there’s also a mocktail version as well.
