Attention all guys! If you haven’t noticed, Feb. 14 falls on a Sunday this year, which means your Valentine will be expecting a bit more than a card. A weekend Valentine’s Day calls for breakfast in bed, or at the very least something nice to sip on while she opens that great gift you bought her to make up for your lack of culinary skills.
Sparkling wine is your ticket out of the kitchen. But you don’t have to stick with a straight forward bubbly. Take a colour cue from the holiday and pop open a bottle of rosé. Yellow Tail Bubbles Rosé ($12.95 – $13.99) from Australia is all about refreshing strawberry fruit that’s not over the top; while Fresita ($13.95 – $15.99) from Chile comes with real hand-picked strawberries in the wine to pump up the flavour volume.
If you like the idea of something more confectionary, the chocolatiers at Godiva work some Belgian magic by liquefying their famous White Chocolate ($29.99 – $31.95) into a decadently creamy, neutral spirit-based, liqueur.
Looking to bring sexy back? X-Rated Fusion ($39.95 – $47.99) liqueur is a tropical mix of French vodka, blood oranges, mango and passion (the fruit that is).
