Like so many Hallmark copywriters before us, we've tried our hands at a poem to sum up our thoughts about the year's most ostentatiously romantic holiday:
Negronis are red,
Curaçao is blue,
So long as you don't infuse your liquor with conversation hearts,
We will support you.
Whether you're boozing with your sweetie, knocking back negronis to mirror the bitterness in your heart, or abstaining from alcohol so you can focus all of your attention on chocolate cake, we have a bevvy of beverages for you to choose from tonight. Go on, Romeo -- shake things up a bit.
If you're hitting the liquor store, make one of these:
Champagne Cocktail by Erika Kotite
The 4-Ingredient Martinez by Erik Lombardo
Rosemary Gin Cocktail by Amy Stafford
The Old Fashioned by Erika Kotite
Hot Toddy with Dried Cherries and Lime by Amanda Hesser
The Boulevardier by Erik Lombardo
And, for all you teetotaling lovers out there:
Homemade Ginger Ale Float by inpatskitchen
...or any ice cream float.
