Impressing your significant other doesn’t have to be hard or cost too much money this Valentines Day. A nice handcrafted cocktail can help set the mood for romance or put a nice cap on the evening. Here are 4 easy and romantic drinks that you can easily make at home without breaking the bank.
1. Scarlet O'Hara
The Scarlet O'Hara is simple yet elegant. Southern Comfort, cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime is about as easy a cocktail as can be made but you'll win raves for this one.
2. Whiskey Cosmopolitan

This is a twist on the classic Cosmopolitan cocktail. Just substitute a light, sweet whiskey like Mellow Corn or Jack Daniel's Green Label for the vodka and you've got an intriguingly new creation that will pair better with food than the original.
