With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to honor the “holiday of love” with a few of Cupid’s favorite cocktails. When it comes to the most romantic day of the year, two colors come to my mind: pink and red.
The color pink represents both femininity and delicate charm. To make your evening blush, I have two suggestions – the “Tickled Pink” cocktail which blends gin with some Angostura bitters and a refreshing rosé spritzer.
Fiery and flamboyant, red is a color that incites passion. Make a flute of Champagne go rouge with a couple dashes of rose syrup, creating a fragrantly festive and boldly hued concoction. This February, show your sweetie how you feel by mixing up one of the below cocktails. Cheers!
Tickled Pink Cocktail
This drink will get you thinking pink!
2 ounces gin
3 to 4 dashes Angostura bitters
Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well and then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Serves 1.
Rosé Spritzer
This wine-centric cocktail says “I love you” with style.
4 ounces rosé wine
4 ounces sparkling water
Mix wine and sparkling water together over ice. Pour into a wine glass and serve. Serves 1.
Rosy Champagne Cocktail
This cocktail is sure to induce scarlet fever!
4 ounces Champagne
2 to 3 dashes rose syrup
Pour champagne into flute. Add a couple splashes of rose syrup and enjoy! Serves 1.

I really enjoyed going through your post. I must say that your writing style is quite unique and interesting. I guess favourite of mine would be Rosy Champagne Cocktail.
