Whether you’re single or taken, if you enjoy a good alcoholic beverage you definitely deserve one this Valentine’s Day! Check out my top picks that are sure to satisfy your friends, yourself or your partner. Read on for my 2019 Valentine’s Day drinks guide.

Riddoch Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Surprising your partner with a home cooked meal? Perhaps a hearty pasta dish or a roast? Well, I have the perfect drop to share over a romantic dinner that won’t break the budget. With a full bodied palette, comprising of black cherry, plum and mulberry as well as subtle hints of chocolate. Perfect with red meat and Italian style dishes. Available at Dan Murphy’s for RRP $20.00

78 Degree Sunset Gin

Looking for a gift to give your better half who is always keen to try something new? 78 Degrees Sunset Gin boasts fresh red berries with subtle hints of pine and eucalyptus. A unique taste with a botanical hint to add depth and complexity to this summer gin. With such a flavoursome body, this gin needs little effort when it comes to mixers. Available at Dan Murphy’s for RRP $79.99

Nexba Tonic

This premium range of tonic waters creates an ultimate mixer for a special drink like the Sunset Gin. Unlike most other tonic waters which contain almost as much sugar as a can of Coke, Nexba is 100% sugar free and artificial free with just 9 calories per bottle. Finally, we can enjoy a classic G&T without the guilt. The waters come in incredible flavours including Classic, Lime and Cucumber, Mint, Cranberry and Hibiscus. RRP is $6.80 for a 4 pack – Available at Coles and Woolworths nationwide.

Dissaronno

For those looking to spoil their significant other with a home cooked meal, why not go the extra mile with a beautiful cocktail? Amaretto Sours are easy to make and make an incredible starter to any romantic evening. Simply add a shot of Disaronno, half a shot of lemon juice, half a shot of egg whites and a dash of bitters. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a cherry and serve in an old fashioned glass. I’m loving the new limited edition Disaronno Wears Trussardi bottle. Inspired by Milan’s fashion and strong Italian taste. Available at Dan Murphy’s and leading alcohol retailers, $46.99 RRP.
