#2 Frozen Red Lotus

If you’re looking for a cocktail that’s as sweet as your love, then look no further than the Frozen Red Lotus. Riffing on the perennially popular vodka cranberry by adding lychee liqueur—thought by some to be a potent aphrodisiac2—this drink is both familiar and exciting.

#3 Frozen Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cocktail

Chocolate-covered strawberries are a sultry treat for this romantic holiday—and they’re even more seductive in cocktail form. 

This fun and festive cocktail is usually made with vodka, but we’re subbing in tequila in our recipe to add a smoky, mellow note to an otherwise sweet and sugary drink. 

To make your own Frozen Chocolate-Covered Strawberry cocktail, you’ll need:4

And here’s how to do it:

  1. Puree the strawberries – you can make a fresh strawberry puree in a food processor or right in your blender. 
  2. Once you’ve pureed the strawberries, you can mix the creme de cocoa, half and half, tequila, and your frozen margarita pop. 
  4. Garnish, pour, and serve. Swirling an empty wine glass or chilled cocktail glass with a little chocolate syrup really heightens the ‘wow’ factor of this one. Once you’ve done that, pour the drink, garnish with a chocolate covered strawberry, and let the romance begin.
