It’s almost here – that special day devoted to all things love. A lot of people focus on having a Valentine to celebrate the day with, but no matter whether your status is single, “it’s complicated”, or old married couple, you deserve a cocktail! The following drink recipes are single serving, but feel free to double up if you’re making drinks for two. Or if you feel like you might need a second drink. 😉

White Winter Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitans are known for their pink or reddish hue, but a white Cosmo has a totally different, and somehow much sexier vibe. Garnish this bad boy with red roses and you have a quintessential Valentine’s Day cocktail. Get the recipe.

Strawberry Vanilla Daiquiri

You can’t go wrong with quality white rum, fresh muddled strawberries, and lime juice. Add some vanilla syrup, and you have one romantic daiquiri. Get the recipe.

Chocolate Cognac Old Fashioned

This cognac cocktail is for the imbiber with a preference for spirit forward and smooth, with just a hint of classic Valentine’s Day flavors thanks to chocolate liqueur and cherry bitters. Get the recipe.

Raspberry Rose Floradora

The Floradora is a classic gin cocktail made with raspberry syrup, lime juice, and ginger ale. It’s fruity, refreshing, and very pretty, too. I added a mist of rosewater for a floral variation that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day. Get the recipe.
