ROMANTIC SIPS TO MAKE YOU SWOON

Whether you prefer a classic cocktail or something a bit more creative, a festive drink is a great way to add a touch of romance to your Valentine's Day celebration.

With a bit of sweetness and a bit of excitement, a romantic Valentine's Day cocktail could be a classic Champagne Cocktail, made by adding a sugar cube, a few drops of bitters, and a splash of brandy to a flute of champagne. The bubbles and festive nature of champagne, combined with the sweet and slightly bitter flavor from the sugar and bitters, make for a celebratory and romantic drink.

Non-alcoholic option – use non-alcoholic champagne and omit the brandy.

Spice things up with a Love Potion Cocktail, made by mixing raspberry liqueur, triple sec, and vodka with a splash of cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. The sweet and fruity flavors, combined with the hint of tartness from the cranberry and lime, create a delicious and romantic drink that is perfect for toasting to your love.

Did someone say Strawberry Mimosa? This cocktail is made by mixing champagne with strawberry puree or syrup. The combination of bubbles and sweetness from the strawberries makes for a delicious and romantic drink. You can also add a splash of orange juice for added flavour.

Make it pretty as a petal with a Rose Petal Martini. This cocktail is made by mixing gin, vermouth, and rose water. The addition of rose water adds a subtle floral flavour that is both unique and romantic. You can also rim the glass with edible rose petals for added decoration.

Whether you enjoy something sweet and fruity or something a bit more complex, these drinks are sure to impress your special someone.
