The most romantic weekend of the year is here! Are you ready to make some magic at home this year for Valentine’s Day?

This year, Valentine’s Day is looking a little different.  Okay, a LOT different, but we’re making the most of it! So whether you are celebrating solo, with a few close friends, loved ones, or online, we’ve collected some of the best recipes for you to try this weekend.

These recipes are great for at-home bartenders of all levels. Plus they’re easy to modify as well in case you are missing an ingredient or two.

Valentine’s Day drink recipes to try

Truly is one of my absolute favorite go-to drinks. I always keep a few in my fridge for when I need to wind down for the evening, or if I’m hosting a Zoom party! Truly is also great for creating fun and festive cocktails.

"Truly Strawberry Iced Tea Valentines Day Cocktail 6 oz Truly Strawberry Iced Tea1 oz pink gin0.5 oz strawberry puree0.5 oz lemon juice1 tsp diamond luster dustRose ice cubePreparation: In a mixing glass add strawberry puree, lemon juice and gin. Cover with ice and shake. Then, add Truly Strawberry Iced Tea to the shaker. Add rose cube to glass then strain over ingredients. Add in luster dust to make it SPARKLE!"

Santa Teresa 1796 is the perfect rum for Valentine’s Day — or any day! You can enjoy Santa Teresa 1796 by itself, but it also blends beautifully into a variety of cocktails. I personally adored the Lovebird. It tastes like how Valentine’s Day looks.

Grey Goose has the perfect cocktail for those of us who are celebrating ourselves on February 14, with their I Love You, But I Love Me More cocktail. Cheers to us!

And last (but certainly not least), Plume & Petal brings at-home mixologists a beautifully light and airy drink.
