Valentine's day is the holiday of love, plain and simple. And whether you're solo, with friends, or attached, there is lots of love - and lots of cocktails - to go around.

In some way, shape or form, all our favorite Valentine's Day drinks are inspired by the holiday. From classic romance movies like 9 1/2 weeks, to more personally tied stories like our contributor's honeymoon in the Sahara, our Valentine's Day cocktail recipes have a touch of love added to them.

Enjoy Valentine's Day this year by sipping one of these delicious drinks - be it alone (this is perfectly acceptable!), with your Valentine or with some friends.
