When it comes to Valentine’s Day, my wife and I usually don’t do much. Not because we’ve lost all romantic gestures in our relationship, but because we actually frequently have date nights and days where we spoil each other throughout the year. With that being said, I still love a good themed cocktail to go along with at-home date nights, especially when it’s from one of my favorite whiskey brands. Check out these three Valentine’s Day themed cocktails from George Dickel.
