This Valentine's Day cocktail is easy on the eyes and drinks like candy.
Even guys will be reaching for this admittedly feminine cocktail. Its flavors are slightly sweet and tangy, much like a glass of pink lemonade. Except that this pink lemonade happens to be powered by vodka, gin and raspberry liqueur.
And don't be ashamed to add a couple of maraschino cherries to this drink to up the pink factor for Valentine's Day.

Citrus Kiss Cocktail

Ice
1 ounce lime juice
3 ounces citrus-flavored vodka, such as X-Rated Fusion Liqueur, Absolut Ruby Red or Absolut Mandarin

Pinch of crushed pink peppercorns
Edible flower petals, to garnish
Divide the raspberry liqueur between 2 martini glasses.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the lime juice, flavored vodka, gin and pink peppercorns. Shake vigorously, then strain and divide between the glasses, pouring it carefully down the sides of the glasses. Garnish with edible flower petals.
Serves 2.
