Easy Cocktails for Valentine’s Day
Cheers to the ones you love with these easy cocktails for Valentine’s Day, all made with minimal prep work and simple ingredients.
Consider this a list of Valentine’s Day cocktails for people who only kind of like Valentine’s Day. I enjoy getting a treat for my daughter and love when my husband brings me flowers, but we don’t need it to be a specific holiday for those things to happen.
Just like I love a good red drink or pink cocktail, but don’t need it to have a cutesy name or be overly sweet in order to enjoy it on Valentine’s Day. A Scarlet Kiss? A lovebug cocktail? No, thank you. I don’t need romantic names or themed drinks, just really good drinks. Preferably drinks that skip the sugar buzz with dinner and deliver big on fresh flavor.
With so many classic cocktails seeing a resurgence in popularity, skip the bottle of wine this February 14th, grab the cocktail shaker from your home bar, and shake up a festive drink with these Valentine’s Day cocktails.
