Shake or stir this precious strawberry cocktail from Goodtaste! The combination of herbal gin and bitter Campari call to mind the profile of a classic Negroni, but if these spirits are not for you, feel free to skip the Campari altogether or swap out the gin for vodka or a light golden rum.

Give your honey the royale treatment with this Valentine’s Day spin on a classic Kir Royale. This version is also spiked with a bit of Hendrick’s, a rose-infused gin. If you’d like, you also can garnish with a petal or two from a (food-safe) rose.

Recreate Fleming’s “Stoli Bombshell,” a ruby red cocktail garnished with a rosemary speared raspberry. It’s vodka-based, but if that’s not your spirit than you could also try gin, tequila blanca or white rum.
