Calling all confused cupids!  This Valentine’s Day, Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts is spilling the beans on the perfect way to celebrate with your special somebody!  According to a recent global survey commissioned by the hotel brand, coffee trumps sex as the ideal wake-up call for more than half (53%) of respondents, which means on February 14th, forget the flowers, lose the lingerie, and say bye-bye to that box of chocolates – the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift is cozying up with your sweetheart and a piping hot cup of joe!

The study also found that 51% of respondents feel they could go longer without sex than without coffee and an overwhelming 78% would rather give up alcohol, social media or sex with their spouse for a year rather than forfeit coffee, revealing that the ultimate high is a bean buzz!

Just in time for the holiday, Le Méridien’s Master Baristas around the globe have whipped up decadent coffee beverages and coffee cocktails that are easy to make at home and the perfect way to celebrate!
