Romantic additions

How you can up the ‘ love level’ on your V- Day drinks:

Spirits aside, there are some truly romantic additions you can make to a drink to elevate it to another level. While you may have mixed the perfect, heady concoction, what good is it without these little touches that attest to your attention to detail? So read on, and get cracking!

Chocolate powder or syrup: A sprinkle of chocolate powder, chocolate shavings, or a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup can take your V- Day drink to another realm. Most people are suckers for good chocolate, and it will only make your drink all that more delicious!

Strawberries: Strawberries are truly the “fruit of love” and there’s something that’s so seductive about biting into one, with all of its sweet and tart flavours, and its vibrant red colour. Choose a perfectly shaped one and use as a garnish for your drink, or drop it into the spirit within. Either way, it will be perfect!

Cinnamon or other spices: Spices like cinnamon add so much more nuance to a cocktail. We’ve dealt with the subject of how to incorporate spices in your cocktails on this page just a couple of weeks go. So get inspired and spice things up!

Other exotic fruits or berries: The more luscious and juicy, the better!

A drizzle of honey: To add a sweet note to the proceedings.

And rose petals for the finish!
