Valentine’s Day has been called the most romantic day of the
year. From the flowers, chocolate and extravagant dinner, the celebration
focuses on the romantic side of life. All the love in the air can transcend
into Valentine’s Day cocktails as well.
While a luscious glass of red wine can get the hearts
beating, a specially made cocktail can elevate the desires between the love
birds. From a spicy cocktail to a sweet, bubbly libation, Valentine’s Day
cocktails should appeal to the couple. To inspire this year’s Valentine’s Day
