The much-hyped Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is scheduled to hit theaters on July 21, 2023, and some bars and restaurants are thinking pink. For instance, Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge at New York’s Moxy Times Square is running a Barbie-inspired activation on its putt-putt golf course called The Pink Bunny Beach. From May 31 through Sept. 3, guests can immerse themselves in a Barbie beach paradise and sip seasonal pink drinks.

But you don’t need to replicate a Malibu Beach scene or Barbie Dream House: A few themed —preferably pink — cocktails will celebrate the film’s release and honor the fashion doll nicely. (Some Ken-themed cocktails wouldn’t hurt either, though we’re not sure what he drinks.)

There is no shortage of rosy-hued drinks: You can always revisit the Pantone Color of the Year Viva Magenta cocktails or the Valentine’s drink offerings from earlier this year. As with Barbie’s wardrobe, the deeper pink, the better. We’ve rounded up six more Barbiecore-centric recipes that are also suitable for summer.
