Raise a glass to your girlies with this sparkly, glittery Valentine’s cocktail! Turn a corner of your home into a dazzling Galentine’s Day Cocktail Bar, where every “clink” celebrates love, laughter, and your amazing crew.

Recipe Ingredients
- Chambord: I am absolutely into this luscious black raspberry liqueur with its vanilla and honey notes. It’s incredibly smooth and makes the perfect liqueur base for this Galentine’s Day cocktail.
- White cranberry juice: I found white cranberry strawberry juice but white cranberry peach would work as well!
- Pink edible glitter: I can’t resist adding this to give the Valentine’s cocktail its shimmering look, totally on theme.
- Mini sparkling white wine bottles: Lamarca makes adorable minis, perfect for the cocktail bar setup here.
- Strawberries: These make an easy and pretty garnish.

Sipping Tips & FAQs
Dissolve the magic: Start with a little demonstration of making the Galentine’s Day cocktail. Pour the Chambord and juice mixture slowly over the cotton candy for a bit of drama.
Serve chilled: Make sure the sparkling wine and juice mixture are well-chilled so the Valentine’s cocktail is really refreshing.
Can I make this cocktail alcohol-free?
Absolutely! Swap Chambord with raspberry syrup and use sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine as a bubbly swap.
Make Ahead and Storage Notes
You can prepare the Chambord and juice mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in heart-shaped jars.
Garnishes like heart-shaped strawberries can be prepped the same day and kept in the fridge. Add the cotton candy right before serving to keep it fluffy.
