FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

CAN THIS BE MADE FOR A PARTY?

Definitely! For a party, this Valentine’s Day co*cktail is ideal.

Simply calculate the ingredients based on the number of guests and serve it in a large pitcher.

It’s a fantastic choice for special occasions, and you can even prepare it 5-10 minutes before guests arrive to ensure freshness.

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD?

Yes, indeed! You can mix all the ingredients, except the club soda and ice, ahead of time.

This is great for when you’re hosting a party and need to manage time effectively.

Just add the club soda and ice right before serving to maintain the co*cktail’s fizz and ensure it’s in the perfect liquid state for your guests.

HOW DO YOU MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP?

Making simple syrup is really straightforward. It involves dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat.

Once the sugar is completely dissolved, which usually takes about 5-10 minutes, allow the mixture to cool. You can find more details in the FAQ section of my blog post or contact me for step-by-step instructions.

Remember, simple syrup is an essential ingredient in many delicious co*cktail recipes, including this love potion drink.

ANY ADDITIONS?

While this list will likely change the flavor and appearance of the drink, they sure do look tasty!

• Pomegranate juice for depth

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Sure thing! Let me know if you have any other great ideas for changing things up here.
