Four of Our Favorite Valentine's Day Cocktails

February 07, 2024 York, Maine

 

For the hostess, the party planner, or the budding home mixologist, Valentine's Day is not just a date on the calendar but an opportunity to try something new. From the classic date night dinner to a Galentine's Day soiree, let's stir up a Valentine’s Day drink that would even make Cupid blush!

Raspberry Margarita

Everybody loves a classic Margarita! This one features sweet raspberries for a pink twist on a favorite. The vibrancy of raspberries paired with the zing of lime and the earthy depth of tequila makes for a drink that sings of summer romance, no matter the season. Make with our fan-favorite Margarita Mixer and Raspberry Syrup and garnish with lime wheels, fresh raspberries, or both!

Strawberry Vodka Spritz

Valentine's Day and strawberries are a classic combination, so we're leaning into the fruity flavor in this spritz cocktail. We combine the sweetness of strawberries and the fresh flavor of mint in our Organic Strawberry & Mint Shrub, the fun pop of soda and the spirit of vodka to create a drink that's as bubbly as your romantic evening. Sweeten with a touch of real Maine Maple Syrup and you'll be sipping pretty. 

Tip: Leave out the vodka for a refreshing mocktail!

Bourbon Cherry Chocolate Cordial

Who doesn't love a dessert cocktail? I know I do! For the perfect after-dinner treat, whip up our Bourbon Cherry Chocolate Cordial. For those who like their romance with a hint of whiskey and a touch of chocolate, this cocktail offers the perfect balance. Pick up our Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce for exceptional chocolate flavor and don’t forget to serve in a coupe glass and  garnish with our Bourbon Bada Bing Cherries.

Boozy Cherry Coke Floats

Are you going to ask your sweetheart to "go steady"? For a more retro approach to Valentine's Day, consider infusing your evening with a shot (or two) of nostalgia. The Boozy Cherry Coke Float is a modern take on a classic that's sure to bring out the romantic in all of us. Top off your float with Tillen Farms Pearl Cherries for that extra special touch.
