d e l i c i o u s cocktail!
If you don't fancy Cupid's Cosmo then how about combining the exoticness of lychees with a Valentine's perennial favorite - rose petals? Lychee & Rose Petal Martini does use gin so you need to be sure your beloved likes gin (a strong flavor that people have strong feelings about!)
Still haven't found the 'right' cocktail for your romantic evening? How about paying homage to the Roman goddess of love - Venus and trying out the Venus Martini, another gin martini but this time it is offset with delicious raspberries.
Cupid's Cosmo
1 ½ shots vodka
1 shot Grand Marnier
2 shots cranberry juice
½ shot freshly squeezed lime juice
Shake all of the ingredients together with ice and strain into a cocktail glass to serve.
Lychee & Rose Petal Martini
1 ½ shots gin
1 ½ shots rose petal vodka
1 ½ shots lychee syrup (taken from canned lychees)
Shake all of the ingredients together with ice and strain into a martini glass to serve. For a really romantic twist float a rose petal on top.
Venus Martini
6 fresh raspberries
2 ½ shots gin
1 shot triple sec
¼ shot sugar syrup
4 dashes orange bitters
Muddle the raspberries with the gin in the base of the shaker. Pour in the rest of the ingredients, add ice and shake. Strain into a martini glass to serve.
Whisper Cocktail

1 part fresh lime juice

A Valentine Day Strawberry?
Valentines Day and strawberries seem to be irrevocably entwined. My first suggestion is the classic combo of strawberries and chocolate in the Chocolate Covered Strawberrytini. The next idea is a slightly unusual cocktail - Strawberry & Balsamic Martini.
Chocolate Covered Strawberrytini
2 ½ shots strawberry vodka
1 ½ shots white crème de cacao
1 strawberry
melted chocolate
The day before melt some chocolate and dip the strawberry into it - leave in fridge to harden, it's these little details with the garnish that could 'make' the evening.
Place the vodka and crème de cacao, along with ice in a shaker and then shake well. Strain into a martini glass to serve and place the strawberry on a skewer across the top of the martini glass.
Strawberry & Balsamic Martini
4 fresh hulled strawberries
2 shots vodka
¾ shot strawberry liqueur
¼ shot balsamic vinegar
Muddle the strawberries and vodka in the base of the shaker before pouring in the remaining ingredients along with some ice. Shake well and strain into a martini glass to serve.

My morning coffee just got cold and is about to be replaced with one of these sweet concoctions! They are all so tempting, I can't decide which one to try first. Which one goes best with mushroom ravioli?
