Short of voodoo, if you could mix a potion that would make your love swell with passion and your body blaze like firewater, wouldn’t you do it? Absolutely!
Go right to the heart of the matter and pop the bubbly. Champagne is a must-have for any celebration and is a traditional favorite for lovers and romance. Since your springing for the best, Dom Perignon and Louis Roederer Cristal are perfect for lifting spirits and giving you that special tingle.
Remy Martin, often called the nectar of the gods, is a popular love libation, guaranteed to put you in the mood for love. The fine cognac is best consumed just as it is — straight no chaser. For optimal results, heat in a snifter over a candle warmer. But for those who like it on the sweet side, Remy Martin also produces a Cherry Heering liqueur, which can be combined with champagne for a festive Cupid’s Bow cocktail. Or try the Remy Martin Knockout cocktail with Cointreau, cranberry and pineapple juices. He’ll never know what hit him.
