This is the perfect cocktail for any Valentine’s celebration. Just choose between your base spirit options! Xila, used in “The Naughty” is a Mexican aperitivo that is is fruity, juicy, and a little bit spicy. It gives the cocktail a deep red color and complex flavor, and plays well with the sweetness in the passionfruit syrup and the raspberry sugar rim. In “The Nice”, sweetness from the passionfruit syrup balances beautifully with the Noces Royales, a French liqueur of pear juice blended with cognac. The Lambrusco and raspberry sugar rim give the cocktail a a bit of color and Valentine’s flare. Garnish both with a dried flowers and enjoy your thematic cocktail alongside a special Valentine’s dinner!
