Check out these sweet and sexy Valentine's drinks to get you in the mood:
Drunk in Love
This delicious concoction, courtesy of The Tipsy Bartender, is big on the strawberries - which is pretty much the most romantic of all the fruits, right? With a delicious mix of strawberry vodka and Champagne, it's sure to please anyone who loves fresh and fruity flavours.

This beautiful concoction from The Cookie Rookie is an absolute showstopper - complete with little strawberry hearts and dry ice to give that authentic 'love potion' feel. Plus it sounds like it tastes as good as it looks, combining strawberry vodka, Chambord and pomegranate juice for a delicious, fruity number.
Red Wine Hot Chocolate

"You eat chocolate with wine, so why not put chocolate in wine?" So says Kylie at Yeah...Imma Eat That - and we have to agree, it sounds like an interesting experiment to say the least. This ridiculously rich recipe combines red wine with hot chocolate for an interesting take on the classic combo. Definitely worth a try if you fancy something a little different this Valentine's.
Red Moon Over Manhattan

Again, we're loving the chocolate and strawberries combination here - and the fact that it's made with just three ingredients means it's perfect for a simple Valentine's celebration to sweeten up your sweetheart. The recipe from Lemon Tree Dwelling calls for half-and-half, but you could make it super indulgent by opting for cream or chocolate milk!
