Three cheers to love!

Feel the ultimate cozy romance this holiday season with these amazing delights.

The quintessential London Gin Sipsmith crafted an amazing cure for your love pains with the their Lady In Red. We love this frothy and tangy drink that will tantalize your senses. Perfectly sweet notes top off this drink.

Take these ingredients at home and enjoy:

  • 1 part Sipsmith® London Dry Gin
  • 1 part Sipsmith® Sloe Gin
  • 1/2 part lemon juice
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 barspoon raspberry syrup
  • Fresh raspberry garnish
  • Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and dry shake
  • Add ice and shake again
  • Double strain into a chilled glass and garnish with a raspberry

For whiskey lovers look no further then The Glenlivet.

What is so divinely unique about this selection is the passionate love story behind its creation. Founder George Smith took a road less traveled when he opened the first licensed distillery in the region of Glenlivet and established himself as an original thinker and creator of the original Speyside single malt. From tropical, rum-finished liquid to finishing scotch in cognac casks, discover the collection of whiskies is groundbreaking and representative of following your love no matter what.

Try the Rose Royale to create that same wonderful passion at home.
  • 1 ½ parts The Glenlivet 12 Year Old infused with rose tea
  • ¾ parts honey syrup
  • ¾ parts lemon juice
  • 2 parts Mumm Napa Sparkling Brut Rose
  • Shake and serve into a short goblet or stemmed rocks glass. Garnish with edible rose petals.

To make infusion, take 8 oz of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old and mix with 1 ½ tablespoons of rose tea. Mix in a non-reactive container. Set for 2-4 hours. Fine strain.

If a bit of bubbly is your thing Hearts on Fire created by @the.sauceress with Mumm Napa will have you bursting with joy.

Use these ingredients at home:

  • 2.5 parts Mumm Napa Brut Rosé
  • 1.5 parts Pink Gin
  • 1.5 parts Pink Grapefruit Juice
  • 1 part Raspberry Rose Water Syrup
  • 1.5 part Raspberry Seltzer

Pour raspberry rose water syrup into the bottle of your glass. Fill the glass with large chunks of crushed clear ice. Separately, combine pink gin and grapefruit juice in a mixing glass with ice. Stir to chill, then add pre-chilled raspberry (or plain) seltzer. Gently pour into your glass so that it layers on top of the syrup. Top off with Mumm Napa Brut Rosé. Garnish with grapefruit slice, fresh raspberries, and some blossoms.

Another sparkling treat is found with another grand creation – La Rousse, with G.H. Mumm.

Gather at home:

  • 3 parts G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon Rosé
  • 1 part The Glenlivet 12 Yr Old
  • 1 part Blood Orange Syrup
  • Dehydrated Blood Orange / Orange Slice

Stir whiskey and blood orange syrup over ice. Strain into a rocks glass with a cold draft. Top with G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon Rosé. Garnish with dehydrated blood orange and blood orange cubes.

Lillet Rosé also makes a special at home base with a desirable and luscious hint of red berries. Make it sparkle with soda water and fresh fruits as a perfect Valentine’s pre-dinner drink. Additionally, a wonderful sparkling wine to pop and just enjoy is Campo Viejo Cava Brut Rosé. The divinely balanced aromas of red fruit and a touch of sophistication will have the room singing praises. 

And for the ultimate “I heart you” expression look no further than the distinguished Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé 2013.

Celebrate the holiday along with the grand dedication to the honoring of the 120th Anniversary of Belle Epoque with this stunning Austrian design duo mischer’ traxler designed a limited gift box. Passion never looked so good!

For those who adore wine as much as their partner, these selections will drive you both wild with passion. Kenwood Vineyards Six Ridges Pinot Noir. 
Stay in a cook that meal together to heat up a memory to last a lifetime. This elegant wine that is best enjoyed with roasted pork, coq au vin, or mild cheeses. One sip and you ignite your senses to a level of bliss. Slip into the comfort of a perfect wine – and, heck, be inspired to slip into something just as silky post dinner serving as you continue to enjoy this beautiful wine all night long.
Another divinely simple way to honor your love at the end of your night is with the romantic expressions found in Martell Cognac.
