    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 want a romantic names or themed drinks, just really good drinks. Drinks that skip the sugar buzz with dinner and deliver fresh flavor.

    With so many classic cocktails seeing a resurgence in popularity, skip the bottle of wine this February 14th, grab your cocktail shaker, and shake up a festive drink with these Valentine's Day cocktails.
