Did you know?
- In many Latin American countries, using the English phrase pink drink within a Spanish sentence is a form of 'code-switching' that signals a modern, urban, or globalized social identity.
- While pink drink is used for the Starbucks beverage, the word trago is the common term for a 'drink' in many Spanish-speaking countries, but it almost always implies an alcoholic beverage.
- If you describe the drink's appearance in Spanish, you might use the word rosado instead of rosa, as the former is often used for objects that are 'pinkish' in shade.
