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.

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

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.
