Some of us will likely spend this Valentine’s Day indoors but who says it has to be boring? We wanted to share a few cocktail ideas that would be great for pre-dinner cocktails or for some at-home fun. Duke & Dame, a salted caramel whiskey brand, has some wonderful suggestions for making festive drinks at home, including “Make Me Blush,” “Duke & Dame Espresso Martini,” and “Caramel S’More Martini.” Whatever your plans for Valentine’s Day, these cocktails are sure to be a hit.
