All You Need is Love + a Valentine Cocktail

My kids are laughing and calling me “cringy” as I attempt to name my Valentine cocktail and type this post, but how festive is this VALENTINI?! Make it with four simple ingredients: prosecco, colored sugar and sprinkles, grenadine, and frozen cherries. You can get everything you need from the grocery store. If you like prosecco with fruit, I think you’ll love this cocktail.

First, dampen the edge of your martini glass(es) and swirl in a plate with sugar. If you want to rim your glasses with valentine sprinkles, you can use a marshmallow. Simply microwave one large marshmallow for 10 seconds in the microwave (or you can use marshmallow creme). Carefully rim the edge of your glass with marshmallow and roll the edges in sprinkles. And once it cools, you won’t have to worry about marshmallow lips, LOL!

Next, pour in your prosecco. Add in one teaspoon of grenadine syrup.

Roll your frozen cherries in the extra sugar and drop into your glass. It’s really that simple!

I used cherries frozen from this summer. Want more cherry recipes? Try Dark Chocolate Cherry Mini Scones or Mini Cherry Cheesecakes.

I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night in. Add games (the non-video variety!), snacks, and good company and you’ve made my evening. We’ve had a lot of family game nights over the years, especially in the last couple of years. You can plan a game night any season, but there’s just something about cozying up for a fun evening when the weather is starting to get chilly. We're still hoping for chilly over here! 

Check out my top tips for planning a cozy game night, favorite games and snack ideas, on the blog today. What's your favorite board game?

I loved pairing my handmade drop cloth pumpkins for this sweet fall kitchen vignette. Learn how to make these drop cloth pumpkins and a sweet ticking wreath on the blog. Just add a piece of a stick for the stem and some decorative Spanish moss on top. Also cute placed in a dough bowl or on your mantel. Easy, peasy, pumpkin squeezy!
