Celebrating Valentine’s Day at home this year? You’ll want to try these 2 cocktail recipes

We all know that Valentine’s Day can be a bit hit or miss. Crowded restaurants, overpriced menus, rushed service and the stress of securing a table weeks in advance can take the pleasure out of what is supposed to be a romantic evening. 

So, this year, why not skip the crowds and celebrate in style at home instead?

Enjoying Valentine’s Day at home allows you to curate the night exactly how you want it. When it comes to drinks, ditch the pre-mixed bottles and basic wine pours. A simple cocktail made together adds an intimate and relaxed experience – quality time is key. It’s fun, interactive and far more memorable than popping a cork and calling it a night.

So if you’d like to ditch your dinner plans and switch on the heating instead, look no further than these two Amaro Santoni cocktail recipes to make this Valentine’s Day.
