It’s no secret that I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day fan, but I love any excuse to shake up a festive cocktail. And obviously VDAY gives you lots of cute pinkish reasons to do so.

Basically, it’s just an excuse to be cute with your girlfriends. Think: cheesy girly movies or a viewing of The Bachelor, yummy cocktails / snacks, and lots of pretty roses. In fact, I think it would be so cute to pick a girlfriend to send roses to! Damn it, why didn’t I think of that sooner?
