Since Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly and many of us are spending the days with our girlfriends, we put together a little DIY Valentine’s Day Cocktail to accompany the fun filled days and nights planned! This pretty pink cocktail (all the best ones are pink, trust us) is the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and boozy! It combines a strawberry rum with lime juice and sweet grenadine syrup that takes us back to those bittersweet days when Shirley Temples were our mocktails of choice. To top off this fun and fruity drink, we rimmed the glasses with heart sprinkles for that extra lovey-dovey touch! Valentine’s Day only comes once a year, so make sure you enjoy the best parts of it with your gals, an array of sweets, and this little boozy treat!
Ingredients:
- Jar of Heart Sprinkles (we found a 6 cell variety jar at Target)
- A splash of Bacardi Dragonberry Strawberry Rum (a jigger per glass works for us, but it’s up to you!)
- Juice from one fresh lime or lemon
- A splash or two of Grenadine syrup depending on how sweet you want it to be (we used Rose’s Grenadine which you can find at any Target or Total Wine store)
- Sparkling Mineral Water
To make two cocktails:
- Dip the glasses in water, and then into the sprinkles to rim the glasses (we recommend dumping the sprinkles into a bowl so that it’s easier to catch the entire rim)
- Fill the cocktail glasses with ice
- Add the rum, sparkling water, and lime juice (half a lime per cocktail glass)
- Slowly add the Grenadine syrup to your liking
And finally, cheers to a fun filled Valentine’s Day with your girlfriends! Don’t forget to shop our Love Collection and follow our newsletter for styling tips and fun projects!
