Everyone loves to enjoy a few cocktails on Valentine's Day! Day 4 of 'Ten Days of Valentine's Day' has ten of the most romantic cocktails from Maria Hunt, aka The Bubbly Girl. Maria's adventures in bubbly are chronicled on her site, which is a destination for cocktail and food recipes designed for entertaining, information on great wines to try, and fun events- like her private wine and food classes where people discover how sparkling wines are great matches for everyday food.
FlirtinaFlirtini: This cocktail which is like a Cosmopolitan with champagne and pineapple added, was popularized on Sex & The City. It was developed for actress Sarah Jessica Parker by a bartender at Gustavino's in NYC .
champagne bathChampagne Bath: This sexy cocktail lets you indulge in a rose bubble bath with your clothes on. Then again, it's probably more fun sipped while sitting in a bathtub, either alone or with company.
Loving CupLoving Cup: This is a vintage style cocktail that's like the cups and punches made in the pre-Prohibition cocktail era. It's a bit of work, but worth it for a party or someone you want to impress. Borage is hard to find at this time of year so try using violas pansies raised without pesticides. Add to the romantic effect by using heart-shaped ice cube trays.
love in the afternoonLove In The Afternoon: The piquant flavor of tangerine, combined with cooling mint and calming rose water, makes this cocktail ideal for a relaxing dreamy midday potion. In the movie Le Divorce, set in Paris, a similar combination was described as the perfect drink to sip before romance.
soulkissSoul Kiss Cocktail: This fruity whiskey cocktail was printed in the circa 1936 Just Cocktails bartending guide; the Soul Kiss was still considered quite the smart cocktail by the early 1960s.
