Well, Valentine’s Day is upon us. Some of you may roll your eyes, some may jump for joy and most will probably be somewhere in the middle. I see it as a day to slow down, take a time out and just enjoy your favorite person. In the spirit of taking it easy, I whipped up this little number I’ve dubbed the love potion (I know, totally cheesy, I’m ok with that). This is possibly the easiest drink ever, just a step behind pouring a glass of wine. Blood orange juice paired with a little bubbly—not only is it tasty, but it’s red to boot! So go ahead and impress the one you love or just treat yourself.
Cheers! To slowing down, sipping tasty drinks and love!
love potion
makes 2 cocktails
3 ounces blood orange juice, divided
sparkling wine, such as prosecco
blood orange slice, to garnish
Pour 1 1/2 ounces into each champagne flute. Top with the prosecco, pouring slowly, stopping about an inch from the top of the glass. Enjoy!

My kind of pre-dinner drink.

I just made this drink last weekend and it’s so delicious I had two. Okay, maybe three…

Yes! Simple is good. I’ll be home with my favorite person, so this will be just the thing (as long as I don’t accidentally guzzle the blood orange juice beforehand).
