We put this little list together to show that in this season of love, Spoon cares too.

Strawberry Bellini
If you plan on extending your Valentine’s Day to the weekend long enough to get yourself together before noon for brunch, your signature drink for the day should be this Strawberry Bellini. It’s great for quality time with your favorite people while you discuss all your exes and soon-to-be’s. It’s light and sweet, and will give that fun feel to a V-Day full of chisme.
Sangria
In the end, there’s nothing more classy than a good sangria. It’ll bring that cultural spice to your night that your besties and/or your S.O. will die over.
