What Are Good Valentine's Day Cocktails?
You can never go wrong with a bottle of champagne or nice wine (especially chilled on flower ice cubes), but if you're in the mood for something more festive, making a Valentine's Day cocktail is a great idea.
Aside from looking pretty, here are some things to keep in mind when deciding what cocktail to make:
- Berry flavors typically are crowd pleasers
- Anything with bubbles is instantly festive! This can be a cocktail with champagne, club soda, or even sparkling water
- A red or pink cocktail says "Valentine's Day"
- For a romantic night in, something smoky or full bodied would work well

This grapefruit cocktail punch combines grapefruit and vodka and makes the perfect big-batch cocktail for a Galentine's Day party!
3. Spicy Tomato Martini
This spicy tomato martini is for the savory lovers out there. It packs a little heat and also makes a great Valentine's Day brunch cocktail.
4. Blended "Dirty Shirley" Cocktail
If you like blended cocktails, this adult Shirley Temple is a nostalgic (and yummy) one to make. The dark cherries give it a grown-up flavor.
5. Dragon Fruit Margarita
Make a bright pink cocktail and blend up a dragon fruit margarita. If you're a tequila fan, try this as your Valentine's Day drink. It's super bright in color, and not overly sweet.
6. Vodka Infused Strawberries
This might not be your typical cocktail but if there ever was a time to make these vodka soaked strawberries, it's Valentine's Day!
7. Rosé Spritzers
These rosé spritzers only require two ingredients and the pale pink color is on point for this romantic day.
7. Blood Orange Moscow Mule
This Kentucky Mule recipe uses bourbon which gives it a nice warm spicy flavor for Valentine's Day. Oh–and the blood orange ginger beer makes it PINK.
8. Blackberry Bourbon Smash
Another bourbon cocktail for Valentine's Day is this Blackberry Bourbon Smash. The blackberries give it a deep purple/red color which makes it feel festive for Valentine's Day.
9. Espresso Martini
Although it's not pink or red, this Espresso Martini seems like a great choice for a Valentine's Cocktail. I'd sip this before going to dinner, or enjoy one with your special person while cooking a meal at home.
