In today’s busy world, it seems like Valentine’s day has a way of quietly sneaking up on us every year, leaving us somewhat unprepared to do something special for our better halves.

And while chocolate-covered strawberries, roses, and a copy of 50 Shades of Grey are perfectly acceptable valentine’s day gifts, we thought you might want to set the mood with something a little less cliche this year.

And starting off the night on the right foot with the proper cocktail is always task numero uno for us.

Enter the Love Bird ❤

original valentines day cocktail

Just like relationships, this rose inspired cocktail has it all – it’s light, it’s pretty, it’s delicious, and complex all at the same time. Made with rose hips infused vodka, lychee juice, lime, pink peppercorn, and Creole bitters, this is the perfect Valentine’s day cocktail to set the mood and another bar quality cocktail made at home.
