VALENTINE’S DAY INSPIRED BEVS Words by Briana Pereira
Valentine’s Day can look different for everyone, whether you’re Insta-official, in a situationship that seems to get messier by the day (relatable), or enjoying that single freedom – having a bev in hand can make the day more enjoyable (or tolerable) for everyone. So whether you’re toasting to love this Valentine’s Day, have a hot date, spending it with the girls, or chugging away some sorrows, here’s a list of 12 fun, love-themed cocktails – or mocktails – for you to enjoy this February 14th.
Most of these drinks (with a few exceptions) can be easily enjoyed without the liquor and taste just as delicious, if not better than they would when spiked. Some tips for anyone who isn’t a drinker: •
A great filler for liquor in drinks is replacing it with an equal ratio of soda water or lemon-lime soda, non-alcoholic sparkling wine/ cider, depending on the drink and how much of a sweet tooth you have.
•
Another alternative especially if you want the flavor of the alcohol without the buzz is to try out some Zero Proof options with your cocktail curations, Ritual is my personal favorite brand!
From everyone here at Folio, happy Valentine’s Day and happy sippin’! ;)
