What is Azalea?
The Azalea Cocktail is a refreshing, crowd-pleasing drink that blends smooth vodka with bright lemonade and a touch of grenadine for a beautiful blush-pink finish. It’s the kind of cocktail that looks like it belongs at a garden party but drinks like something you’d casually sip on a warm afternoon. Light, citrusy, and just sweet enough, this is one of those recipes that quietly becomes a go-to.
If you enjoy vibrant, fruit-forward cocktails like this, you might also love the French Kiss cocktail on Home Bar Menu, which leans into berry notes with a sparkling twist. The Azalea sits right in that same lane of easy elegance, making it perfect for brunches, spring gatherings, or honestly… just because it looks great in your hand.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Fill the glass: Fill an old-fashioned or highball glass generously with 1 cups ice.
- Add grenadine: Pour 0.5 ounces grenadine grenadine into the bottom of the glass. It will sink and create a beautiful pink ombré effect.
- Shake: Combine 1.3 ounces vodka vodka and 5 ounces lemonade lemonade in a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds
- Strain & garnish: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over the grenadine. Garnish with 1 lemon wheel, for garnish and 1 maraschino cherry, for garnish. Serve immediately.
