Let’s face it. There’s nothing easy about love…or brewing your own love potions at home! So instead of taking my “troubles down to Madame Rue,” I took my happy self down to a spot where I first fell in love…Park Bar in Union Square!
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I couldn’t think of a better place to go back and learn about making love potions. Thanks to their amazing bartender, Danielle, we won’t have to “hold our nose, close our eyes and take a drink”!
Perfect to serve at an upcoming cocktail party or to greet your date, Danielle has saved us from sipping a drink that tastes like “turpentine” this year! Her love potion picks?:
Passion Margarita
-1 splash of fresh lime juice
-1/2 oz orange juice
-1/2 oz pineapple juice
-Lime wedge
Blushing Bubbles
–Cremant Loire Rose Champagne
-Dash of St. Germain (elderflower liqueur)
-Don’t forget a twist!
Hanky Panky {click here to read about its history!}
-2oz Bombay Dry Gin
-2oz Sweet Vermouth
-2 bar spoons of Fernet Branca
-Orange wedge
While Danielle was brewing the potions, she leaned into me and said “well, if all else fails I totally suggest whiskey on the rocks…works every time!” Potions for Love. Sans {your} cop down on “thirty fourth and vine!”
