What are the best cocktails for Valentine Day? Here are several sexy drinks that we created for you to try. Hopefully they stir up some romance. And next month I will be posting some delicious French recipes for a romantic dinner. So don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss out!
Devil’s Food Cake
Ingredients
- 2 oz. Pinnacle Cake Vodka
- 1 oz. Light Creme de Cacao
- 1/2 oz. Amaretto
- 2 oz. seltzer
- honey
- red cocktail sugar
- red cocktail shimmer
Directions
- Start by preparing your chilled martini glass by lightly brushing honey on the rim. Then roll rim in red sugar.
- Once the glass is prepared mix liquors in a cocktail shaker with ice. After that, carefully strain into martini glass.
- Then add seltzer. Finally sprinkle and mix some red shimmer into your drink until the desired color is achieved.
Tip: Glasses can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated so they are all ready for a romantic night. Also, if you keep your liquors chilled you can leave the ice out of the shaker and double the recipe so you have enough for two. Then just leave the shaker in the refrigerator until ready to serve the drinks.
You can buy cocktail glitters and shimmers for your sexy drinks at Snowy River Cocktails.
Oyster Shooter
This one we have had at several restaurants. Subsequently, we have tried to recreate it here after a little trial and error. Fresh oysters are the best, but if you are desperate for this aphrodisiac drink you can use canned.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces of chilled vodka
- fresh or canned oysters
- 1/2 tsp. prepared horseradish
- 1/2 tsp. cocktail sauce
Directions
- Begin by placing an oyster in the bottom of a chilled shot glass.
- Then add horseradish and cocktail sauce on top of the oyster.
- Finally, top with chilled vodka. Bottoms up!
After all, it’s like a mini aphrodisiac Bloody Mary!
Garter Belt
Ingredients
- 3 oz. cranberry juice
- 2 oz. coconut rum
- 1/2 oz. grenadine
- honey
- silver cake glitter
Directions
- Begin by rubbing honey around the rim of a chilled martini glass. Then roll rim in silver cake glitter. (To clarify, any edible glitter can be used)
- When the glass is prepared, mix cranberry juice, rum, and grenadine in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- After that strain into the cocktail glass and drink.

Whipped
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Pinnacle Whipped Vodka
- 2 ounces Godiva Chocolate Liquor
- red shoestring licorice
Directions
- First mix liquors in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Finally top with shoestring licorice (whips) to garnish
Tip: Although you are adding ice to the cocktail shaker, if you have the option, keep your vodkas in the refrigerator so they are prechilled. We have the luxury of having an extra refrigerator in our garage that usually has extra space. Consequently, our glassware and vodkas are ready to serve.

These items will certainly add to your romantic plans. After all, I chose these affiliate links with Valentine Day in mind.
Chocolate Love Potion
Ingredients
- 2 ounces chocolate vodka
- 2 ounces Godiva chocolate liquor
- 1 ounce amaretto
- 1/2 ounce grenadine
- 1 ounce half and half
- whipped cream
- chocolate dipped strawberry
Directions
- Mix liquors and half and half in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Finally, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate strawberry.
Of course to make your own chocolate covered strawberries all you need is some Nestles chocolate chips and some strawberries. Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for increments of 20 seconds, stirring after each time until chocolate is melted. Then just dip the strawberries in the chocolate and place on a plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes so chocolate will reharden.
