Valentine’s Day is in two days and I’ve already seen some boys running around with their red roses in hand for their special lady! Girls, don’t leave it all to the boys to do all the leg work, there are some simple things you can do to make it a romantic night.
I’m a huge fan of all things themed! So for that reason why not incorporate some drinks and make them not only beautiful, but match them to Valentine’s Day.
I’ve scouted out some simple drink recipes that can help you give a special touch to your Valentine’s night. Whether you and your boy are staying in for a relaxing romantic night or heading out for dinner and drinks on the town, you can have the drinks before you leave or while you hang out at home.
Dos Amores Cocktail
The perfect cocktail for a romantic weekend
Ingredients:
2 oz. Dos Lunas Silver Tequila
2 oz. Orange Flavored Liqueur
2 oz. Pomegranate Juice
Chilled Champagne
Directions:
Place Dos Lunas Silver Tequila, orange flavored liqueur, and pomegranate juice into a large cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain evenly between two Champagne flutes. Top with chilled champagne. Stir gently.
Be Mine Mojito
This berry twist on a classic mojito will get your Valentine's Day off to a sweet start
Ingredients: (Serves 1)
1 1/2 ounces Bacardi Razz (white rum optional)
1 ounce simple syrup
1/2 lime , freshly squeezed
12 to 14 fresh mint leaves
4 raspberries
4 blackberries
Sprig of mint
Directions:
In a tall glass, lightly muddle the lime juice, 3 raspberries, 3 blackberries, simple syrup and mint leaves. The trick is to muddle just enough to release the oils from the mint leaves while leaving them intact. Add crushed ice and rum, and top with soda. Stir until the outside of the glass begins to frost. Garnish with the leftover berries speared with a mint sprig.
Hope Floats Cocktail
Break out the bubbly and mix up this tasty drink for your Valentine.
Ingredients: (Serves 1)
1 1/2 ounces PAMA
1 ounce citrus vodka
2 ounces pink grapefruit juice
Champagne
Raspberry sorbet
Sprig of mint
Directions:
Shake PAMA, vodka and grapefruit juice with ice. Strain into a champagne flute. Add one scoop of your favorite raspberry sorbet. Top with a splash of champagne. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
Now that you have your cocktails ready, go enjoy the surprises your boy will have for you! Don't forget to get the matching napkins and spring for some chocolates!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
