The Love Potion (Cocktail)
Start the evening with a dose of enchantment by mixing up a Love Potion cocktail. Head to local distilleries such as 52eighty Distilling or specialty liquor stores in Littleton to source craft gin, elderflower liqueur, lime juice, and a bottle of bubbly. Garnish with edible flowers for a touch of romance. The Love Potion is a refreshing and visually stunning choice to kick off your Valentine's Day celebration.

Mile-High Kiss (Mocktail)
For those opting for a non-alcoholic option, the Mile-High Kiss mocktail is a delightful choice. This vibrant and fruity concoction pays homage to Colorado's breathtaking sunrises by combining fresh-squeezed citrus juices, a splash of grenadine, and a hint of soda. Garnish with a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry for added flair.

Rocky Mountain Romance (Cocktail)
Embrace the spirit of the Rockies with a Rocky Mountain Romance cocktail. Infuse local whiskey from Rocker Spirits with warming spices like cinnamon and cloves. Add a touch of honey syrup from Björn's Colorado Honey and a splash of bitters for depth. Serve over ice, garnished with an orange twist. This cocktail is perfect for those cozy, intimate moments watching the wildlife pass by your window at Solstice on Valentine's Day.

Altitude Elixir (Mocktail)
If you're seeking a booze-free option that doesn't compromise on flavor, try the Altitude Elixir. Muddle fresh berries, mint leaves, and a dash of simple syrup. Top it off with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime. This effervescent mocktail pays homage to Colorado's high-altitude charm and is a delightful treat for the taste buds.
