How are you celebrating this Valentine’s Day? As in past years, we will be celebrating at home. Our girls will make some heart-shaped pizza and Matt and I will get take out or make an extra nice meal at home. Normally we have wine, but after I received some Skinny Syrups in the mail, I got to thinking. Matt and I created 2 beautiful pink cocktails for Valentine’s Day using Skinny Syrups. We will be enjoying these while cooking in the kitchen.
I’ve been using Skinny Syrups for over a year now. During their Black Friday sale I even stocked up and have quite a few flavors. They are fantastic in tea, coffee, oatmeal, protein shakes, cocktails, ice cream, and even milk. We are constantly finding new ways to use them. I hope you try these cocktails we created out, too!

Tip-We have this fabulous cocktail shaker that has measurements in the lid. You can measure the ingredients right in the lid and pour it into the shaker for your drink. Less mess and less to wash up. Add the shaker to a basket with a Skinny Syrup and alcoholic drink for a sweet Valentine’s Day gift!
