Review:

This lavender pink drink is everything you (or your partner) might want for a Valentine's tipple. It is the right colour, includes parfait amour liqueur (meaning perfect love) and the all-important champagne sparkle. Good luck.

In case he/she asks, parfait amour is a lilac coloured curaçao (orange) liqueur flavoured with rose petals, vanilla pods and almonds.

A lovely romantic cocktail for a post wedding celebration. Also works with raspberry vodka instead of plain

Made again this time with the Fraise des and Bois and it was also wonderful. Would recommend either way.

Another great brunch cocktail. Did not have any Fraise des Bois, so I substituted Creme de Cassis. Very enjoyable.
