Valentine’s Day is special, and a great cocktail can make it even better! The key is using fresh ingredients and balancing flavors just right. Here’s how I do it:

It’s also fun to experiment with herbs.

Mint, basil, or rosemary can bring out unique notes. Always wash and pat them dry first!

When it comes to mixers, I choose freshly made ones whenever I can.

Fresh mixers like simple syrup or fresh ginger ale make the drink taste cleaner and brighter. 🍹

Balancing Flavors

Balancing flavors is key to a great drink.

I always think about sweet, sour, and bitter elements.

First, I taste the sweetness—like sugar syrup or honey. Then, I add something sour, like a fresh squeeze of lime.

Next, comes a bit of bitterness with a twist of orange peel or a dash of bitters.

Sometimes, adding a hint of spice, like a pinch of cinnamon, can bring it all together beautifully.

It’s all about finding that perfect mix that makes every sip enjoyable! 🍸
