You don’t need a dinner reservation at a fancy restaurant to have a memorable Valentine’s Day. A simple night in with a delicious romantic cocktail is just what the doctor ordered!

Picture brightly burning scented candles, a simple but delicious homemade meal, vibrant red roses at the centre of the table and gentle music playing in the background. The only thing missing from this romantic picture is the drink – and nothing says romance like the rose-pink hue of this Rosé Cocktail. It balances sweet and delicate, with a sour twist to tickle the taste buds, and just a dash (or 4) of magic, all to complete the perfect evening.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so make sure to have your Rosé sparkling wine on ice and ready for this special occasion. Follow this recipe:
