Galentines Day Cocktail

Vodka
Prep time: 10 mins
Author: VinePair
A bottle of Ketel One Botanical Grapefruit & Rose, two pink cocktails with cherries, lemons, pink candles, flowers, and a red matchbox arranged on a marble surface with a pink backdrop.

We could all use a reason to celebrate love (especially in the cold depths of winter), but that doesn’t mean snagging a reservation at a crowded restaurant… or even having a “date.” This year, we recommend shaking up a riff on a royale cocktail that is as aromatic as a bouquet of fresh flowers and sharing it with your besties instead. Made with Ketel One Botanical Grapefruit & Rose, red bitter liqueur and topped with Champagne, it’s sure to make you both feel celebrated and special.

What you’ll need:
