What I’m Drinking: The Rose

It’s Valentine’s Day – let me give you a little quoted advice*:

Showing up with a dozen limp red roses picked up last-minute on Valentine’s Day garners only a thumbs-down from a romantic dearest (if not a door slammed in the face, or a slap, or an invitation to spend the night on the couch). However, you can show that love how much you care and start the evening right by swapping the limp flowers for a liquid Rose and having it ready when he or she walks in the door (or when you show up at his or her door).

This Valentine’s Day maker-better is from Ginger Bliss and Violet Fizz, too!

1. Fill a cocktail shaker or mixing glass halfway full with cracked ice. Add the vermouth, kirsch, and Chambord. Stir well.

2. Strain into a cocktail glass and add the cherry.

*Funny enough, I’m quoting myself. But hey, I’m funny.
