Since the holiday falls on a Saturday this year, we have some fun family plans and will spend the whole day celebrating. We'll start with a big breakfast, then do some festive crafts and activities, have a heart-shaped lunch, and then Joey and I are going to to dinner that night while the kids watch a movie and eat popcorn.
Since I won't be cooking dinner, I'm focusing all of my energy on breakfast this year. First things first. Whenever there's an opportunity for mimosas, I'm game. And I hereby proclaim that Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity. But why not turn them up a notch? Perhaps with the addition of grapefruit juice, tequila, and St. Germain? Yes, these will do quite nicely. And bonus: they make it totally acceptable to drink tequila before noon!
These potent breakfast cocktails are a great balance of fruity, sweet, boozy, and sour. And the fizzy, bubbly, Prosecco is the perfect finish. Even if you don't plan to partake in a breakfast cocktail, these are great pre-dinner drinks as well. That's the beautiful thing about prosecco: it's great any time of the day!
