Chances are, guys aren’t as into the Valentine’s Day hype as ladies are – instead of buying flowers or boxers, show some love and creativity by preparing a well-made drink for your Valentine! The below “Lovestruck by Lemon” or “Cupid’s Cider” cocktails would be the perfect way for your readers to surprise their date and thank him/her for the gifts – while enjoying some quality time together, of course!
This Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday so ladies can look forward to a romantic, stress-free evening by giving their man just what he wants – Hornitos® Black Barrel. The “whiskey-like” tequila makes a great gift for tequila and whiskey lovers alike, and one of the below recipes is all the couple will need to make the evening special.
Cheers!
