Rose Petal Kiss

Valentine's Day doesn't need a reservation at an overpriced restaurant when you've got Champagne in the fridge and this gorgeous cocktail up your sleeve. The Rose Petal Kiss serves two, which means you can skip the awkward "just one sip?" negotiation and actually share something special. Built on cognac and Chambord, this fizz brings serious depth beyond your typical bubbly sipper. The black raspberry liqueur adds a rich, jammy sweetness that plays beautifully against bright lemon juice, while a touch of crème de rose keeps things delicate without tipping into potpourri territory. When you top it with Champagne, the whole thing turns this stunning ruby-pink that honestly does half the romantic work for you. The flavors hit that sweet spot between fruity and sophisticated, berry-forward but not cloying. Make this for anniversary nights, Valentine's Day at home, or really any evening when you want to feel fancy without the fuss. Just don't forget to chill those coupes first.
