3 Amor-Inspired DIY Valentine’s Day Cocktail Recipes

February 12, 2019

What better way to say “I love you” than with a warm-and-fuzzy cocktail you made yourself? 🍸❤️

Erin—a.k.a. the bartender of my heart—stopped by the other day with a tote bag of booze and fancy drink utensils to whip some up. She created three delicious libations to serve to friends and lovers on the most commercially romantic day of the year. 😉

The afternoon was an ode to the cocktail we mixed up for a v-day blog post many years ago! If you remember that, you’re a true Hey Mishka OG.

Planning a v-day brunch with friends? Serve this up as an alternative to mimosas. It has a dreamy pink hue and goes surprisingly well with savory snacks.

Difficulty: Easy
Strength: Low

Glassware: Champagne flute

Ingredients: 

  • ½ oz Creme de Framboise (Raspberry liqueur, available at liquor stores that sell fancy extras)
  • Prosecco of your choice to fill your glass (we recommend a dry or extra-dry)

Directions:

Pour ½ oz of Creme de Framboise into a champagne flute, top with prosecco to fill glass. That’s it! As an optional garnish, rim the glass with pink sugar and drop frozen raspberries in the glass to chill.

Punch glasses/cups/tea cups

Ingredients for a punch bowl:

  • 6 cups pink lemonade

  • 2oz lemonade
  • Prosecco

Optional garnish: Lemon/lime wheels, strawberry sliced into hearts, and heart-shaped ice cubes.

Mix ingredients in a punchbowl (or a glass, depending) add some ice, taste. Taste again! Taste, just one more time…

For a single glass, mix vodka and cold pink lemonade. Top with prosecco. Garnish with fruits, and then top with more lemonade!
