Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate, and we can't think of any better way to celebrate the most romantic night of the year than with a romantic cocktail (and heaps of chocolate, of course). Make this year that extra bit special and surprise your partner with one of these lovely libations!

Hanky Panky
A riff on the classic cocktail created by Ada Coleman (the first female head bartender of the Savoy) in the early 1900s. Incredibly complex botanical flavours including piney juniper, vanilla & light smoky spice with a touch of citrus freshness. A fervent and sophisticated cocktail.
