Pouring Good Decisions
Experience the old fashioned 'Love' together with your partner sipping "The Love Letters"
A perfect start to an old-school relationship is with Love letters. Not just the handwritten ones, but cocktails too. A drink with two favorites of every cocktail admirer put together for the ideal evening, Bourbon, a man's spirit animal, and Wine, a women's best friend after diamonds. 'Love letter' is one of the most versatile cocktails with different ways to mold. The combination of both is a great Date Night cocktail to sip in a fancy restaurant while talking about 'love'.
The Love Letter is an appetizer that is versatile and can be molded into different ways according to mood. The undemanding recipe makes it an easy cocktail, so you can either make at home on a cozy Saturday night with your partner or go out and enjoy in your special restaurant with fine ambience. Champagne can be used instead of wine as per preferences, but rest assure the taste would be mind-blowing.

The ingredients in 'love letters' are neutralized diligently. The strong taste of oak, caramel, and vanilla from Bourbon is settled delightfully by mixing the Patron Citronge orange liqueur, which has a very smooth and candy flavor. By polishing chilled wine, the drink sparkles and suits itself as the absolute cocktail to celebrate love.
(Pro Tip: Cocktails taste good but we're more drawn towards them because they look good as well. If you are making the drink at home, focus on display of the aperitif by choosing the right glasses and garnish well to make it look even more attractive.)
