Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This Valentine’s Day
make a cocktail for two!
Gentlemen, we are fast approaching the best holiday of the year (said NO man ever!) Maybe you have a wife or girlfriend who says Valentine’s day is no big deal – DON’T fall for that lie. Flowers are nice. Flowers and chocolates even better. But the trifecta of Valentine’s Day is definitely flowers, chocolates, and a romantic dinner. Walk into any grocery store and you’re bombarded with tons of flowers and chocolates to choose from. But the dinner part?? That’s a bit trickier. However, we’ve got you covered with this foolproof plan – pour your special lady a delicious cocktail and while she’s oooing and ahhhing over it taking pictures for social media, pour those takeout containers of food onto real plates and dinner is served! What could go wrong?!
