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. Plus we created equally delicious (but slightly less fun) non-alcoholic alternatives! So whether you’re looking to end up on the naughty or nice list next Christmas these pink concoctions will help get you there.
