Valentine’s Day cocktails are just so much fun to make (and drink)! I’ve started sharing more cocktail recipes over on my Instagram, since I love hosting and making festive drinks, and I thought it could be helpful to roundup all of the drink recipes here too. I made three tasty drinks this year for Valentine’s and Galentine soirees, and had three amazing recipes last year too! Check them all out below, and let me know what you are making to celebrate this year. Also, have you seen our Galentine’s book club party?! It was SUCH a blast hosting my girlfriends. xx
