Here’s a cocktail for every hue in the kaleidoscopic.

We don’t make the rules — drinks taste better when they’re colorful. So, we’ve selected a boozy beverage for every stripe of the rainbow to help you sip in technicolor.

Red

Why settle for one glass? Grab a flight of red wine at The Grove Wine Bar + Kitchen.

What’s better than a lychee martini? A pink lychee martini, of course.

Pink

The lychee martini at Lin Asian Bar has the perfect pigment.

There are few drinks that scream “summertime” more than an Aperol Spritz.

Orange

An Aperol Spritz is the ultimate orange drink — enjoy them at Taverna with a side of French fries.

Yellow

It’s the mimosa’s time to shine: grab a carafe full at Better Half Coffee + Cocktails on Saturdays and Sundays.

Green

Home of the avocado margarita, Curra’s Hyde Park will have you wishing every drink had a chunk of the creamy fruit mixed in.

Blue

Try the Blue Hawaiian on draft at Busty’s Bar + Jukebox.

Violet

In Austin, the purple drink of choice must be Baby A’s Famous Purple Rita. Psst — each person is limited to two.
