15 Baby Shower Drinks That Are Almost Too Pretty To Sip

One thing I always notice when looking at beautiful baby shower pictures is how much attention people give to the cake and food.

But what about the drinks?

I mean, imagine having the prettiest dessert table and then serving everything in plain disposable cups with no effort whatsoever.

Not that there's anything wrong with simple drinks, but I think we can do a little better for such a special occasion.

And no, you don't need alcohol to make your drink menu interesting.

There are so many colorful lemonades, fruity mocktails, creamy floats, and sparkling drinks that look just as beautiful as cocktails.

I particularly love the ones with fresh fruit garnishes because they make even an ordinary glass of juice look fancy.

Whether you're having a brunch baby shower, a garden celebration, or something indoors with close friends, I've found 15 baby shower drinks that will make your guests want a second glass.

Some are really simple, while others are a little extra in the best way.

15 Baby Shower Drinks That Are Almost Too Pretty To Sip

1. Sparkling Pink Lemonade Punch Bowl Perfection

@hunterchambers

If pink is the main color of your baby shower, I don't see why your lemonade shouldn't match.

The fresh raspberries and mint leaves floating in this sparkling pink punch are such a beautiful combination.

I would serve it in a large clear bowl so the colors are visible, and you can easily prepare enough for everyone.

2. Blush Rosé Sangria for Expecting Mamas

@barbarabiedenharn

Sangria doesn't necessarily have to contain alcohol to look beautiful.

For a baby shower version, use alcohol-free rosé-style sparkling juice with fresh peach slices and strawberries.

I love the soft pink color, especially when it's served in a glass pitcher with a few fruits floating around.

And since we're celebrating an expecting mama, making the sangria completely alcohol-free is the way to go.

3. Pastel Butterfly Pea Lemonade

@mytinynook

Have you ever seen lemonade change color right in front of you?

Butterfly pea flower drinks can turn from blue to purple or pinkish shades when citrus is added, which makes them really interesting for a party.

The ombre colors are gorgeous, especially inside tall glasses.

I would check whether the botanical ingredients are suitable for the mom-to-be before serving this particular drink.

4. Mocktail Mimosas in Chic Champagne Flutes

@andallshallbewell

Sparkling orange juice served in gold-rimmed champagne flutes is such a simple way to make your baby shower brunch feel a little fancier without serving alcohol.

5. Dreamy Lavender Soda Float

@eneha

Vanilla ice cream floating on lavender-colored soda? That sounds like dessert disguised as a drink.

The purple shade is what caught my attention first.

I think these would look so cute at a lavender or fairytale-themed baby shower.

Just serve them immediately so the ice cream doesn't melt before everyone gets their glasses.

6. Tropical Mango Mint Agua Fresca Bar

@iveybelle

If your baby shower is happening during summer, a mango mint agua fresca station should definitely be considered.

The bright yellow drink with little green mint leaves is so refreshing-looking.

And arranging the drinks in glass dispensers means guests can help themselves whenever they want.

I would place a few extra mint sprigs and fruit slices beside the station for anyone who wants more garnish.

7. Cucumber Mint Spa Water Serenity Station

@elle

Not every drink on your baby shower menu needs to be sweet.

Sometimes, a simple pitcher or dispenser of chilled water with cucumber slices and fresh mint is exactly what everyone needs.

I particularly love this for an elegant garden baby shower because the green colors look so fresh.

And it's nice to have something light alongside all those cakes and pastries.

8. Cotton Candy Cloud Punch Drama

@chantellemonteforte

Cotton candy melting into punch is one of those drink ideas that would have me reaching for my phone immediately.

The fluffy cotton candy disappears as soon as the liquid touches it, leaving behind a pretty swirl of color and sweetness.

I would definitely serve this as a little drink-making moment rather than preparing everything hours before the celebration.

9. Watermelon Basil Slushie in Mason Jars

@weelittlevegans

Watermelon slushies are already delicious, but adding basil gives this one a slightly different twist.

The pink frozen mixture inside mason jars with striped straws looks very summery.

If you're having an outdoor baby shower, this is the kind of drink I would want in my hand while sitting under the shade.

And the mason jars make the whole setup look a little rustic too.

10. Peach Iced Tea With Edible Flowers

@orsolyalengyel

I don't know about you, but peach iced tea sounds like something I could drink all afternoon.

The golden color is beautiful, especially with a little edible flower garnish sitting on top.

You could also use decaffeinated tea if you want a lower-caffeine option for the mom-to-be.

11. Creamy Coconut Pineapple Punch Delight

@molly

Coconut and pineapple together always remind me of tropical vacations.

And while this is technically a baby shower drink, I wouldn't mind having a glass on an ordinary afternoon.

The creamy white color with a little pineapple slice on the rim is so pretty.

I think this would be especially nice for a beach-themed or summer baby shower.

You can even serve it in clear glasses so the creamy texture stands out.

12. Baby Blue Gender Reveal Lemonade Sip

@gabrielaibárcena

Want to announce that you're having a boy with a drink that matches the occasion?

This baby blue lemonade with a little blue sugar around the rim is such a cute option, and I love how simple the presentation is.

13. Strawberry Hibiscus Magarita

@thebakingfairy

If you prefer something less sweet and a little more sophisticated, a strawberry margarita drink with hibiscus sounds interesting.

The deep red color is beautiful against clear ice, especially when served in short glasses.

I would keep this one alcohol-free for the baby shower and check the herbal ingredients before offering it to the expecting mom, since hibiscus isn't generally recommended during pregnancy.

14. Sparkling Grape Juice

@createkidsclub

Who says you have to serve expensive champagne to make a drinks table look elegant?

Sparkling grape juice poured in champagne flutes.

The glassware is really what makes this idea stand out.

I would pair it with a white tablecloth and simple floral decorations for a classy baby shower setup.

15. Honey Ginger Lemonade

@supermaplefarmhouse

For something a little different from the usual fruity drinks, try honey ginger lemonade.

The warm golden color is beautiful, and I love the idea of adding a little fresh thyme for decoration.

And if you're having a neutral or gold-themed baby shower, this would fit the decorations nicely.

Conclusion

Now, which of these baby shower drinks would you actually want to try?

I think the nicest thing about planning a baby shower drink menu is that you have so many colors and flavors to choose from.

You can serve something creamy, something fruity, and a few sparkling drinks so everyone has options.

And you don't have to make every drink complicated.

Personally, I would go with the mocktail mimosas for a brunch celebration and the watermelon slushies for something outdoors.

The cotton candy punch is also a fun one if you want a little drama on your drinks table.

Just make sure the drinks intended for the mom-to-be are alcohol-free, and check unfamiliar herbal ingredients for pregnancy suitability.

You can even include a simple water station because guests will appreciate having something refreshing between all the sweet drinks.

And don't forget the garnishes!

Sometimes, one little strawberry on the rim of a glass is all you need to make a drink look ten times prettier.
