Welcome to February, the red month. We call it the red month because everything has a touch of red in Lagos. We also find it so cheesy that people in Lagos wear a red outfit on Valentine’s Day. However, we must admit, the style trend never gets old.
With ten days to go to the ultimate Val’s day, we’ve decided to jump on the red trend and share with you the five must-try red cocktails in the spirit of Valentine’s. We are taking no prisoners when discovering and exploring these delicious red cocktails.
The eye-catching vibrant colour adds a flare to the occasion. Step out of the box and stay away from the same old Strawberry daiquiri, Chapman or Cosmopolitan. Now is the time to try something new from our selection below. Here are five must-try red cocktails
Love Potion Cocktail
So apt for the season, you may not find a Love Potion Cocktail everywhere. This four-part cocktail consists of Grenadine, Raspberry vodka, lime juice and cranberry cocktail juice blend. Despite a vibrant mix, there is no guarantee you will fall in love.
Raspberry Martini
Bright red and bursting with flavour, a Raspberry Martini will soon become one of your favourites. The zest of fresh lemon balances the sweet-tart of raspberry. A sweet cocktail perfect for a romantic dinner or girls night.
Negroni
This classic cocktail is refreshing, complex and slightly bitter. The addition of bright red Campari makes the blend of gin and vermouth come to life. A more manly drink.
Frozen Cranberry Margarita
If you like red frozen drinks, this is the drink for you. It is a crisp, tart, refreshing crimson red cocktail. The flavour is perfect as it combines cranberry juice, lime juice, tequila and Cointreau.
Strawberry Prosecco Slushie
One of the best-frozen cocktails you’ll ever have is a Strawberry Prosecco Slushie. Just a few ingredients and pow! The drink consists of frozen strawberries, orange juice, Prosecco and honey.
And there you have it. Which one will you most likely try?
Enjoy!
