With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start making plans for that special someone in your life!
Don’t just give him or her some gift. Don’t spend a huge amount of money on dinner out (heck the pandemic is still going on!) Try to make the day more personal.. so that they know it was done JUST FOR THAT PERSON.
Two spirit brands– Ron Barcello and Strega Liqueur had a great idea that they shared with me.
This year, skip the night out and give V-Day a more personal, intimate touch with a romantic night in featuring these fantastic His and Hers cocktails from Ron Barcelo (bottle prices ranging from $15.99 – $99.99) and Strega Liqueur ($40.00 per 750 mL bottle).
There are 2 cocktail recipes for each spirit: one for the woman’s cocktail and the other for the man’s cocktail. It gives Valentine’s Day
a very special feeling that these cocktails are for someone special!
