We know that love doesn’t need a special occasion to be celebrated. But the 14th of February or what we know as Valentine’s Day is a pretty good occasion to spend some quality time with your loved one. Moreover, it is perfect occasion to swap your regular cocktails with some special ones, some that will impress your date. Great, isn’t it?
Well, Valentine’s isn’t just one day but a whole week that starts on 7th February and lasts until 14th February. Valentine’s Day is the final day of this seven-day celebration which includes Rose Day, Propose Day, Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day and Valentine’s Day. This period is also known as romance week or love week. To make this week even more special for you and your loved one, we have brought one perfectly romantic cocktail for each day. Believe me, whether you are looking for a pretty pink drink or ubiquitous liquid chocolates, you are going to find a perfect drink. Here you go!

Pink Lady is a two-spirit punch of gin and applejack. The two-spirit punch enhances the charm of this cocktail and makes it perfect for the first day of the Valentine’s week I.e., Rose Day, thanks to its pretty rosy colour. Here’s how you can make it at home.
