Valentine’s Day gives us that extra day to celebrate our loved ones in style. From chocolates and cakes to a decadent dinners for two, it’s a day we honor those in our heart with all things delicious! In addition to the sweet and the savory, Valentine's Day offers cocktails and drinks full of passion, heat, and spice to help out when temperatures rise.

Add some pep to your morning with Passion Fruit Mimosas. Two parts bubbly to one part passion fruit juice helps you start celebrating early with bubbles that tickle.

For those that enjoy big flavor and a hearty brew check out the Ginger Guava Beer Cooler. Fresh grated ginger, guava juice and your favorite unfiltered wheat beer come together to create a drink that is fruity with a hint of bitterness and a kick of spice that makes it the perfect complement for  our Lovers lunch or dinner.

Take a trip back in the time and celebrate old school with the Hanky Panky. This classic Fernet cocktail, invented by the famous Ada Coleman of the Savoy in the 1920s.

For a drink that you can sip from dusk to dawn: Mango Madness Hard Tea. Pure mango juice is mixed with twice-brewed green tea and a healthy shot of orange liquor. A splash of papaya juice and a wedge of ripe mango seals the deal on this drink that brings the tropics home.

And finally, give in to the day with a Scarlet Surrender, a mix of pomegranate, orange, and warm rum.

No matter where the day takes you, ensure that you enjoy it with a drink in hand. Cheers to you and your sweetheart.
