The Perfect Valentine's Day or Date Night Sip
Valentine’s Day calls for something special, and if you love a little heat with your sweet, the Spicy Lover Mocktail is the perfect drink for you! This vibrant, citrusy, and slightly spicy mocktail is packed with bold flavors—making it the ultimate sip for a romantic night in or just treating yourself to something delicious.
Why You'll Love the Spicy Lover Mocktail
This drink is a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and spice! The blood orange juice brings a deep citrusy sweetness, the lime juice adds a refreshing tang, and the ginger beer kicks it up a notch with its zesty spice. It’s an eye-catching drink with a fiery hue, making it just as beautiful as it is delicious.
This mocktail is a part of my Mocktail 101 series where I teach you how to make simple & tasty mocktails at home and keep your bar cart stocked. This is a 3 ingredient mocktail that you can easily make at home. A great option to grab some blood oranges + limes and leave in a cute basket
on your bar cart. And grab a four-pack of ginger beer (I like Q mixers and Fever Tree). The Fresh mint is a chance to grab a mint plant at the store and you can always have fresh herbs!
Pairing Ideas for a Perfect Valentine’s Night
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries: The citrus and spice contrast beautifully with the rich chocolate.
Spicy Dark Chocolate: A little extra heat pairs perfectly with the ginger kick.
Savory Appetizers: Think avocado toast with chili flakes or a charcuterie board with spicy jams.
