1. All Around the World in Five Ingredients

A Rosita is one of the more complex Valentine’s Day cocktails, with five ingredients, but trust us, it’s definitely worth the effort! Bittersweet Campari, intoxicating tequila, two kinds of vermouth—what more can one ask for? 

Each sip is a trip around the world, with stops in Mexico, Italy, and Trinidad. No list of cocktail recipes is complete without one for Rosita. So here we go:

What You Will Need:

• Sweet vermouth
• Dry vermouth
• Campari
• Angostura bitters
• Tequila reposado

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, stir the ingredients with cracked ice until cooled.
2. Strain over ice cubes into an Old Fashioned glass. Add an orange (or lemon) twist as a garnish.

2. Oh So Pretty!

The rose lemonade not only tastes heavenly but also looks beautiful. Made with rose petals, which give it a gorgeous colour, it is one of the perfect mocktail drinks for Valentine’s Day.

Here’s the mocktail recipe:

What You Will Need:

• Dried rose petal
• Lemon juice
• Water
• Sugar or any other sweetener of your choice

Directions:

1. Mix the rose syrup and sugar (or the sweetener of your choice) in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir at regular intervals until the sweetener dissolves. 
2. Cool after draining. Your rose syrup is here.
3. Fill your glass with 2 tablespoons of rose syrup.
4. Fill each glass with 3 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
5. Add sparkling water on top.
6. Add lemon or rose petals as a garnish.

3. I Cherry-ish You

Is your romantic evening lacking in zing? Believe us, the combination of fresh mint and lime in this cherry mocktail drink will give you just what you need. Indulge in the rich goodness of cherries this Valentine’s week. 

Here is one of the best mocktail recipes:

What You Will Need:

• Sweet cherries
• Lime
• Mint
• Sparkling water

Directions:

1. In a glass, add lime juice and sliced cherries. If you have a sweet tooth, add some sweetener. Muddle the ingredients together. It should be as small as possible in order to fit through a straw.
2. To release the smell, clap the mint leaves together in your hands. Apply to the glass with a couple of light presses.
3. Stop with your preferred sparkling beverage after adding ice.
4. Lime wheels and additional cherries can be used as a garnish.

4. Finally, a Cocktail to Die For

One of the best Valentine’s Day cocktails is obviously Romeo and Juliet. What better way to end Valentine’s week than with a cocktail named after the very epitome of romance? So, here is how to make it.

What You Will Need:

• Fresh mint
• A pinch of salt
• Gin
• Simple syrup
• Fresh lime juice
• Angostura bitters

Directions:

1. Mix the mint and cucumber in a cocktail shaker with a dash of salt. (The back of a spoon will work in a pinch!)
2. Put the remaining ingredients in the cocktail shaker. Allow to stand for 30 seconds.
3. Add ice, give it a good shake, and then strain it into a serving glass.
4. Add three drops of bitters to the drink’s surface, if preferred, and garnish with a mint leaf. Also, add one drop of rosewater to the mint leaf.
