From Valentine’s Day to everyday, we have the perfect cocktails to profess your love on your next date night.


A Kiss Above the Clouds
Light some candles, put some romantic music on, and show off your mixology skills by serving up a deliciously dark, suavely sensual cocktail. This rum-based adaptation of the classic Manhattan balances the warming richness of a dark rum with the herbaceous flavor profile of a sweet vermouth. Accented with whiskey, coffee, and a double dash of chocolate bitters, it’s a complex concoction of flavor that will take you above the clouds.

French 21
Take your date to Paris, the city of love, from the comfort of home. The French 21 is a classy glass of elegance that oozes effortless romance. Red and bubbly, you can’t go wrong with this cocktail. The crisp vodka is awakened by the astringency of the tangy lemon, which is then sweetened with the striking red raspberry liqueur and topped off with a splash of bubbles for a playful effervescence. Add a cute garnish to make this drink adorably irresistible.



White Chocolate Martini
There’s a reason why chocolate sales boom around Valentine’s Day. It's an aphrodisiac. People have been gifting chocolate to show their love for centuries, because it’s one of those ingredients that releases the feel-good love hormones. Turn on your dopamine receptors with this ambrosial, creamy cocktail that gives new meaning to Martini. Simply shake some creamy vodka, white chocolate liqueur, and white Créme De Cacao, for a buttery, sweet treat.

Valentine's Day Flowers
Shake up yet another riff on a royale cocktail, but this time it's as aromatic as a bouquet of fresh flowers. Made with Ketel One Botanical Grapefruit & Rose, red bitter liqueur and topped with Champagne, it’s sure to make you both feel celebrated and special.



Passion fruit Caipiroska
Looking for some passion on date night? You’ll find it here. The passion fruit Caipiroska is a lively, summery, vibrant drink that balances citrusy, tart flavors with sweet, nectareous joy. The vodka provides a clear base for the bittersweet passion fruit to bounce off of, sweetened with simple syrup and the caramelly molasses of brown sugar. Allow the flavors to dance on your palate with this fun, refreshing Brazilian cocktail and see where the night takes you.

Baileys Chocolate Martini
This classic chocolate martini combines premium Ketel One Vodka with the creamy, delicious Baileys Chocolate Liqueur – made with real Belgian chocolate. Just combine, shake and garnish with flair for the perfect dessert cocktail to end the night on a high note.



One Night
A single malt whiskey carries the complexity of spicy pimento dram (a rum-based herbal liqueur flavored with allspice) whilst picking up the tartness of lemon, the sweetness of sugar and the viscosity of egg white. Topped with aromatic bitters and a violet spray, these layered flavors will be sure to take you on a journey.
