Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Serve garnished with a fresh strawberry.

Sloetini

What better liqueur for a Valentine pink cocktail than the classic sloe gin? The use of equal parts dry and sweet vermouth make this a "perfect" drink.

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist, if desired.

Chocolate Martini

What would Valentine's Day be without a little chocolate?

Drizzle chocolate syrup in a chilled cocktail glass and set aside. Combine vodka, chocolate liqueur and white creme de cacao in a shaker with ice, and shake well. Strain into the prepared cocktail glass. Add chocolate shavings to the top for an additional garnish.
