While we here at C&I agree every day with your significant other is special, there is no excuse for slacking on Valentine’s Day. Put in a little extra effort to show how special your sweetie really is to you.
This trio of cocktails from the relaxed refinement of the Grayson Social lounge-restaurant in Dallas, Texas, ought to do the trick. They’re worth the extra effort, including an edible orchid and rose crystals.
