Hey mommas! Valentine's Day is next Wednesday. If you're still looking for something cute to wear, you still have time to order something from our Valentine Collection! Some pieces have unfortunately sold out but there's still some really cute pieces left! Check it out here.
There's a lot of people that think Valentine's Day is a waste of a holiday and just an excuse for Hallmark to make some extra cash. Ahem...(I'm looking at you Mr. Mojito!) Anyhow, I actually enjoy Valentine's Day. In my opinion, it doesn't hurt anybody to take a day in our super busy lives to just remember to tell the people in our lives how much we love them and how much they mean to us. I mean, a little extra love never hurt anybody right?! Plus, I love how excited my kiddos get to give out Valentine's. It's so sweet.
So needless to say, I like making fun and yummy things for Valentine's Day. Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies? Yes please. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries?? Don't even get me started. Delicious and decadent Valentine's cocktails?? Umm, where do I sign up??
So this Valentine's Day, I made a sweet and yummy cocktail that I have affectionately named Love Potion! ;) It's like a punch in that it has several liquors and juices, and it's dangerously easy to drink. You're going to love it. Plus, my recipe is made for 2 cocktails!! So it's perfect for splitting with your Valentine or if he's being particularly cranky about Valentine's Day being a fake holiday, then skip the sharing and save the second one for round 2 for yourself! ;)
Cheers mommas and Happy Valentine's Day!
xo, Momma Mojito
MOMMA MOJITO'S LOVE POTION (makes 2)
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. Cake-Flavored Vodka (if you can't find cake-flavored then substitute something like strawberry or vanilla vodka)
- 2 oz. Pineapple-Flavored Rum
- 1.5 oz. Triple Sec
- 3 oz. Cranberry Juice
- 2 oz. Pineapple Juice
- 3-4 Small Splashes of Grenadine Syrup
- Red Sanding Sugar or Valentine's Sprinkles (optional)
- Strawberries cut into Heart Shapes (optional)
- Valentine's Swizzle Sticks (optional)
Directions:
Wet the rim of 2 glasses lightly with water and dip into sugar/sprinkles to coat the rim. Fill each glass with ice and set aside. In a large cocktail shaker, fill with ice and pour all ingredients in. Shake until chilled. Strain into the glasses and garnish with a Strawberry Heart and a Swizzle Stick for stirring while sipping.
(*Note--strawberry hearts can be cut with a small inexpensive heart-shaped cookie cutter. However, if you're like me and you couldn't find yours anywhere in your kitchen (seriously where the heck did that thing go?!) then feel free to cut it out free-handed with a knife like I did!*)
(*Also note--I found my Valentine's "LOVE" swizzle sticks at the dollar spot in Target!*)
