Hey, Reader!

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm taking time today to reflect on all the love in my life, and that includes YOU! That's right, I love that you're here! It means so much to share my love of drinks with you! ❤️

​

While I can't share a physical drink with each of you — as much as I'd love that — I can share some of my favorite rose-hued drinks fit for Valentine's date night, Galentine's parties and every celebration in-between.

​

​

clover club

The clover club is elegant and classic, perfect for a sophisticated celebration! Its velvety texture and soft raspberry flavor are sure to be love at first sip.

raspberry moscow mule

Ginger beer and lime meet sweet-tart raspberry for a match made in cocktail heaven. This dreamy pink drink is a great one for Valentine's Day (or any day) because it only takes a few ingredients to whip up!

cosmopolitan

Is there a better drink for Girls' Night than the classic Cosmopolitan? This classy sipper is pretty in pink thanks to a splash of cranberry juice, giving it a tart berry flavor. Yum!

rose champagne cocktail

While roses + champagne are typically Valentine's Day gifts, combine them for a delicious drink option, too! This floral stunner is a Galentine's Day favorite, taking centerstage just as a beautiful bouquet would!

strawberry martini

The sweet strawberry martini is simple to make but so delicious to enjoy! It's fresh and light, leaving plenty of room for dessert. Add some strawberry sugar on the rim for an extra-special touch.

Prefer chocolate to celebrate? Try mixing up a chocolate old-fashioned or a chocolate cake shot for a little extra sweetness — you can't go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries, either!

​

No matter how you're celebrating today, I hope you feel the love!

​

Happy Valentine's Day!

Susannah

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! ICYMI, Easter is just around the corner. Since the date changes year-to-year, I find it's easy to lose track of the celebration. Even if it sneaks up on me, one thing I won't let fall to the wayside is the drinks. As a spring celebration filled with flavor and color, there are a bevy of pretty, pastel-colored drinks you can make for brunch and beyond. Here are a few of my favorites that every-bunny 🐰 will enjoy: chocolate bunny cocktails You can bet...

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! Ah, March Madness. The magical time of year when those of us who don't closely follow college basketball use our intuition — AKA favorite colors and mascots — to predict which team will come out on top. If you're like me, the tournament isn't so much must-see TV as it is a chance to get together with friends and share some drinks as we cheer on a team. Here are the drinks I think are going to be winners while watching: sweet 16 With plenty of tournament...
