Come on kids - we all know what Valentine’s Day is really about. No, not that. Whether you’re feeling a bit melancholy or partying it up with your significant other, it’s all about that chowing down some quality booze.

But away with your beer and vodka-lemonade – there’s so much more to be enjoyed when you let your creative juices flow. Here’s our roundup of red & pink things you could be putting in your mouth/ ingesting this week. Now, without further ado…

BLOODY MOZZA
Whiskey, tomato juice, Tabasco, lemon & lime, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper

Bloody Mary’s sharper, edgier cousin. Picture dark mascara and bright red lipstick (smudged obviously).


WEL3A
Shot of whiskey, chilli powder, Tabasco

The clue is in the name; a shot of fire straight from Satan’s mouth/other appendage, essentially.

CEREZ-Y
Whiskey, white wine, red wine, cherries

Not really for the fainthearted, or for moralistic puritans who ‘don’t think red and white wines are same thing’.

GINGER ZINGER SUPREME
Whiskey, ginger, pink lemonade, lemon, salt & pepper

We’re totally not sorry for the name.

YA TOFA7A
Apple juice, whiskey, sprite, sprinkle of cinnamon

Kind of like apple-pie, if you’ve never tried apple-pie.

SAFA7 EL MAADI
Raspberry vodka, cranberry juice, lemon sprite, lemon ice-cubes  

The unexpected serial stabber of drinks favours cute girls in tight jeans about to go home.

SEX ON THE NILE
Vanilla vodka, cranberry juice, grape juice, orange juice

Not dissimilar to the popular Sex on the Beach, this is best served with a crocodile and some Sha3bi music.

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL
Vodka, whiskey, rum, on the rocks

Violence is Bad. Vodka, whiskey and rum in one glass is good.

KULOTTE  
Vodka, whiskey, strawberry liqueur, grenadine

Known in some regions of the world as the G-String. Try ordering a kulotte in a bar.
