Valentine's Day Cocktail

     Who doesn’t love a cocktail that feels fancy, but it easy to make? If you and your valentine are spending the 14th doing a fun night in, I’ve got just the cocktail recipe for you. It’s only 5 ingredients and delicious. I picked this recipe, not only because it’s refreshing, but because one of the ingredients is strawberries. Since it’s Valentine’s Day there’s a good chance you’re also buying strawberries for chocolate cover strawberries.

Strawberry Tequila Soda

     The pink color of this drink is very ~on brand~ for Valentine’s Day. This drink calls for muddling strawberries. If you don’t have a muddler, you can use a spoon or a fork. If you don’t want pieces of strawberries in your drink, but still want the flavor you can always strain them out. Serve with a straw, or sip through the sugar sprinkles on the rim.
