Love is in the air as Valentine's Day is fast approaching. You must be going jitters if you are hosting a party at your place and even if you are not hosting one. In either case, you can not avoid an effervescent drink from your evening menu. Even if you don't consume intoxicants you can try getting drunk on life, along with some nice non-alcoholic beverages. Drinks are great conversation starter and if you are on a date with your loved one, then drinks make the atmosphere light. No nice party can be assumed where no alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are catered. Champagne in drinks is almost synonymous to love as chocolates and strawberries. Preparation is the key to making a nice cocktail or even a mock-tail drink. So, be prepared with the ingredients beforehand.
