Crystal Kung Minkoff Shares Her Best Cocktail Recipes
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member shares how to make her famous spicy margarita, a champagne sunrise, watermelon mule, and more.
As Crystal Kung Minkoff kicked off her debut season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards quickly realized that she was quite the mixologist. After Crystal made Kyle a margarita on the show's May 26 episode, Kyle exclaimed, "That's so good...Oh my god, I'm impressed."
From that point on, Kyle declared to Crystal, "You're the bartender."
While the show has given peeks at some of Crystal's gorgeous homemade cocktails, she shares even more drink details on her Instagram account. From her take on a spicy margarita to specialty cocktails like the "Pucker Up Bitch" (one of six amazing drinks she served at the Rinna Beauty launch party), Crystal shares exactly how to create the most incredible drinks.
Whether you want to add an unexpected twist to a glass of champagne (we're looking at you, Sutton Stracke) or enjoy a piña colada from the comfort of your own kitchen, scroll down to get inspired by some of Crystal's best cocktail recipes.

Crystal's "delicious fruity cocktail" is her "very simple take on a Mojito."
Margarita
