What's more romantic than mixing your sweetheart an elegant cocktail on Valentine's Day? To turn up the saccharine sentimentality to 11, try a holiday-coloured drink.
Nothing says romance like champagne. Our Sicilian 75 is a riff on the French 75 made with blood orange juice, gin, and campari. Or try the Volstead, with vodka, St. Germain, and fresh berries. For something sweet-tart, the Rhubarb Fizz pairs champagne with a ginger-rhubarb syrup.
Hopefully your relationship isn't bitter, but your drink can be. The negroni is a classic, with equal parts gin, campari, and sweet vermouth creating a bitter, refreshing sipper. Replacing the vermouth with light, citrusy Lillet Blanc gives you our floral pink negroni.
Tart cranberries make a great Valentine's Day drink. Our Cranberry Crush combines spiced rum, cranberry juice, and ginger beer into a complex cocktail. For something a little sweeter, agave syrup makes for a perfectly balanced cranberry gimlet.
Moving to other fruit, our Plum-Basil Gin Fizz is sweet and refreshing. Back to berries, you can make a rich shrub with blackberries, dark rum, and balsamic vinegar or an effervescent Tom Collins variation with raspberries, gin, and soda water.
