I imagine that if Cupid sat around drinking cocktails, this is what he would be having. This drink, pinkish-red in hue, screams Valentine’s Day- though in reality I love it any time of year. I like to buy splits of sparkling wine (half bottles), since you only need a few ounces per drink. An inexpensive Prosecco or Spanish Cava is a great choice.

Tips & Tricks
