Perfect Sips for Valentine’s Day! Special Cocktails from Voga & Voli Light Vodka!
Valentine’s Day is coming up and maybe it’s too much $$ or hassle to go out. You can do some easy things DIY by hitting the market to pick up some easy appetizers (tabouli, hummus, fruit,) as well as some great cocktail fixings. I have selected these brands for the cocktails because they are not something you are going to find in restaurants and it’s a nice personal touch to create something new and unusual if you are celebrating Valentine’s Day.
If you are NOT celebrating Valentine’s Day, even better reason for you to get your gang together and enjoy the evening together– have everyone bring a dish and you provide the great sips!
VOGA Italia (www.vogaitalia.com) encompasses all aspects offering a collection of crisp delicious wine thoughtfully packaged in a revolutionary re-designed bottle featuring a unique resealable cap. VOGA has earned numerous awards and accolades for their sleek and sexy glass cylindrical bottle, presentation and most importantly taste. The collection retails from $10.99 to $15.99 and includes Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Moscato, Quattro, Sparkling Pinot Grigio Chardonnay, and Sparkling Pinot Grigio.
