Valentine’s Day? Phooey! A sane person can only stand so much pink hearts, flying babies and PDA, unless it’s in the form of a cocktail dedicated to the holiday, that is. The following are the lusty libations that will be featured at various bars and restaurants around L.A. this coming V Day weekend. Toast a loved one or your crew of single pals.
Matt Biancaniello of the Hollywood Roosevelt’s Library Bar is a big ol’ softie. The star of his Valentine cocktail menu, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, will only be available on V Day Sunday. Why? Because he wants it to be special. The rest of the roster, on the other hand, can be ordered the whole weekend. Each cocktail is $15.
- Blood & Spice: Milagro Silver tequila, cayenne pepper, lime, agave, fresh blood orange juice
- Chocolate Covered Strawberry: Strawberry-infused 360 vodka with homemade chocolate syrup
- Cupid’s Bubble Bath: Muddled blackberries and raspberries, Chambord, Mumm’s sparkling white, and topped with a St. Germain foam
- Pomegranate Kiss: Ketel One Citroen Vodka, lime, pomegranate liqueur, fresh pomegranate seeds, edible flowers
