Pink Garden:

Bring the romance of a lush garden to your Valentine’s table.

Apple & Pink Julep:

Transport your Valentine’s Day to the Southern charm of mint juleps, but with a romantic twist.

In a long glass, place 10 to 15 mint leaves with a shot of apple juice. Gently press to extract the full aroma of the mint and add a large measure of Port. Add some ice and swizzle until the cocktail is chilled. Fill the glass with more ice and garnish with a mint spring and an apple fan.

Frozen Pink Festival:

End the evening with a vibrant and fruity frozen cocktail.

In a blender, place a few chunks of watermelon and 4 raspberries. Add a large measure of Port and 5 ice cubes. Blend everything, serve in a cocktail glass, and garnish with a couple of raspberries.
