Whether you’ve got a hot date for V-day or you and the girls are going to live it up with a Galentine’s Day (Amy Poehler approved) these refreshing and light cocktails will allow you to devour the entire box of chocolates.

So whether you’re looking to end up on the naughty or nice list next Christmas these pink concoctions will help get you there.
