#LoveDrunk

Valentine’s Day is the international day of love. Our affinity for craft cocktails goes beyond love. Every new spirit tasting or sip of foreign wine creates a new appreciation for the product and its maker. Our sentiments can only be described as #LoveDrunk. So in love, so infatuated that a feeling of euphoria is experienced.

We curated a unique collection of cocktails and mocktails to share the love and encourage creativity this Valentine’s Day. 

Start your evening with a unique mocktail. Our ‘Pink Matter’ mocktail has the appearance of a high end craft cocktail without the alcohol. The pillowy foam is created by Aqua Faba, the liquid from canned chickpeas. See recipe below:

Pink Matter 

1.5 oz of Rhubarb Syrup

2 oz of Pineapple Juice 

¼ oz Aqua Faba 

½ oz of Lemon Juice

Garnish: Edible flowers

Add Rhubarb Syrup, Pineapple Juice, AquaFaba and Lemon Juice to a mixing tin full of ice. Secure the lid, then shake passionately. Strain mixture into glass full of ice. Lovingly add garnish. Take #GentleLadySips

If you’re looking for a more spirited start to your evening, try the Wine Trio from Fresh Vine Wines. You can’t go wrong with the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.

As the evening progresses, you may be in search of something more spirited. Try our Bourbon Champagne cocktail affectionately called ‘Body Party’. The combination of oaky Longbranch Bourbon and bubbly Cinzano Prosecco creates a taste sensation that will have your body moving and grooving. See recipe below:

Body Party

1.25 oz of LongBranch Bourbon

1 oz of Cardamom Syrup

½ of Lemon Juice 

Topped with Cinzano Prosecco

Garnish: Lemon Twist

Add Longbranch Bourbon, cardamom syrup and lemon juice to the mixing tin full of ice. Secure the lid, then shake passionately. Strain mixture into chilled glass. Carefully add Cinzano Prosecco to the cocktail mixture until glass is full. Lovingly add garnish. Take #GentleLadySips

Alternatively, if you’re looking to crank up the heat, craft our ‘One Night Stand’ cocktail. As you sip it what feels like hot flashes will actually be the sweet heat of ‘White Hot’ Cinnamon Whiskey and Marie Brizard Triple Sec. You can taste the passion in every sip. See recipe below:

One Night Stand

1 oz of Marie Brizard Grapefruit Liqueur

1 oz of Hollow Creek White Hot

½ oz of Lemon Juice

Topped with Tonic Water

Garnish: Grapefruit slice

Add Marie Brizard Grapefruit Liqueur, White Hot and lemon juice to a mixing tin full of ice. Secure the lid, then shake passionately. Strain mixture into glass full of ice. Carefully add tonic water to the cocktail mixture until the glass is full.  Lovingly add garnish. Take #GentleLadySips

Before you retire for the evening, enjoy an ice cold glass of Danica Rose. The silky bubbles and crisp flavors are innately romantic, seductive even. Allow the Rose to wrap you in love as you relax in the tub or recline in bed.

Remember Valentine’s Day is for the lovers. But even if you’re single, don’t forget to treat yourself. Order some beautiful pajamas and book a room at a boutique hotel. We highly recommend a stay at The Hotel Emeline. They offer spacious and comfortable accommodations with great views of the #HolyCity and an on-premise restaurant, Fanny & Fox, that serves exceptional food and cocktails.

When looking for a token of appreciation for the special guy in your life, consider a gift set from Ballsy. They’ve created a kit to take his grooming game to the next level.
