Galentines for the Gals

In a world of 'Dads, Chads and Brads' there's a day that ladies get to celebrate each other. The companionship and love relationships between girlies gets highlighted every February on a special day called 'Galentines Day'. While it's not on any official calendar, nor a national holiday it has become a popular day in female social settings.

This day has become one of my personal favorite 'holidays' because it celebrates being a woman, friendships between gals, and all things girlie. Naturally there's a lot of pink and frilly things that go along with this holiday, so obviously it's SO much fun to play with visuals. I thrive on making fun girlie things for my gals, and my most favorite is coming up with cocktails!

These cocktails have a few requirements: balance, visual appeal, ability to please a variety of ladies. Taking all of these notes I came up with 3 cocktails, and one mocktail for our sober queens. They consist of a Gin cocktail, a Vodka, and a Champagne cocktail, to hit most women's preferences. The mocktail closely resembles a red wine with notes of orange and clove from a forward bar co signature syrup.

Writing and testing cocktail recipes is one of my favorite parts of the process for clients as well as in my personal life. The freedom in tweaking ingredients, using favorite spirits and adding textures to cocktails is truly a creative outlet that brings me immense joy. So now that you've read though the love of all things gal and cocktails here's the recipes to the perfect way to celebrate you and your girls! Cheers!
