Valentine's Day Spice

If you're planning on going the ultra-romantic route and making a Valentine's dinner at homefor your honey, look no further.

First, head to your local gourmet grocery store or seafood specialty shop and invest in some oysters...a natural aphrodisiac, perfect for this holiday.

Next, check out your favorite wine store and ask for a recommendation for a Prosecco, which is typically a delicious and dry Italian sparkling wine. Crisp and flavorful, it tends to be a cheaper alternative to many champagnes and is the perfect romantic accompaniment to oysters.

Make your Valentine a cocktail he or she will surely remember. Our Valentine's Day Spice cocktail is a little sweet and a little spicy, just like we all like it. Bonus points if you serve it wearing nothing but an apron!
