With a name like Cupid's Cosmo you can't go past my first choice for Valentine's Day. This twist on the traditional Cosmopolitan made famous on Sex and the City is a longer drink and uses Grand Marnier instead of Cointreau which makes for a 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.

A Valentine Day Strawberry?

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry
Valentines Day and strawberries seem to be irrevocably entwined and so it seems only natural that you should want some strawberry cocktails on Valentines Day and it just so happens that I have 2 suggestions for you.

My first suggestion is the classic combo of strawberries and chocolate in the Chocolate Covered Strawberrytini.

My next suggestion is a slightly unusual cocktail - Strawberry & Balsamic Martini - now it might sound unusual to use balsamic vinegar in a cocktail, but trust me this one is another delicious cocktail that I'm sure you'll love.



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.

Champagne?

Of course Valentine's Day is about the celebrating of love and what do we usually associate with celebrations - champagne! Instead of the boring bottle of bubbly, why not try one of these delicious Champagne Cocktails? From the Flirtini and Pink Slipper to the Sparkly Cosmo you are sure to find one your loved one will enjoy.

One of my favorite ways to spend Valentine evening is curled up with the man of my dreams watching a movie and the only drink to have in these circumstances just has to be a Snuggler.

What will you be watching?

Snuggler

1 ½ oz Peppermint Schnapps
Hot Chocolate

Pour your Schnapps into a mug and fill with hot chocolate. If you really want to go all out you can top it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

If the Snuggler doesn't appeal to you, but you like the idea of a warm cocktail to sip while watching movies then check out this gorgeous suggestions -
