Holy red-and-white-heart-patterned-everything, romance can be challenging! Whether you embrace the slightly cheesy side of romance with wild abandon or try to avoid putting yourself out there (we feel ya), it has to be said it’s pretty bad form to leave your partner hanging on a special day of luuuuuurve such as birthdays or Valentine’s Day. The very least you can do is pour them a rather fabulous cocktail when they get back from a grueling day at the proverbial salt mines.
To help you on your way, we’ve copped a few awesome cocktail recipes that feature The Duchess Non-alcoholic Gin & Tonic as the star ingredient. Now you can have your cocktail and drink it, even if a special day falls on a stupid school night.
No need to sulk if you don’t have a love buddy in your life at the moment. You can totally make these for your single lady/guy friends as well. Bottoms up!
