Wicked Martinis: For A Magical Night

Sharing is caring!

Have you seen Wicked yet? This incredibly popular movie is the hit of the holiday season! The story celebrates the profound friendship between two girls from very different backgrounds. It’s the perfect movie to see this holiday with your besties. And just like with the Barbie movie, people are flocking to the theater—and pregaming before the show.

I’ve got just the thing to set the mood: Wicked Martinis! Whether you’re feeling like a “good little witch” or a bit “wicked,” these cocktails are a fun and festive way to celebrate. For Glinda vibes, we have a beautiful pink Cosmopolitan. If you’re channeling your inner bad witch, go for the vibrant green Sour Appletini.

Both Wicked martinis are super easy to make, quick to whip up before or after the theater, and guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit. Ready to learn how to make these magical drinks?
