Today we’ve got a list of 3 drinks that are sure to impress your valentine! Whether they’re wanting a light classic, a strong sipper, or something completely new, there’s a cocktail here for them – or you. You don’t need a valentine to enjoy these drinks. That’s just something I said to help the SEO know what this video was about. But I do think it’s more fun to drink with someone else around – valentine or not! Hope you enjoy these recipes. Cheers!
