So, the holidays are officially well and truly gone, walking to work every day feels like you are reenacting Leo’s famous scene in the Revenant and the next notable occasion is Valentine’s Day (February 14th).
Whether you are proudly celebrating or shrugging it off and pretending your single-self simply doesn’t care – we have some charming cocktails to put that extra spring in your significant others step, or at least allow you to have fun and forget all about the fact that the cat is home alone.
Cheers!
