Could Cupid’s Arrow cocktail strike a love match for Valentine’s Day?

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it is time to raise a toast to love. With the Cupid’s Arrow cocktail, Teremana Tequila is shaking up a delightful sipper that could make you swoon. Even if the first arrow goes slightly astray, you will be ready to shake up another beverage and try again.

When it comes to Valentine’s Day cocktails, there are many, many options. While everyone has a favorite libation, often the color drives the choice on the day of love. Whether it is a blushing pink or a radiant red, the passionate hues capture everyone’s attention.

Although the color captures the eye, the flavors need to make you fall in love sip after sip. The cocktail needs to have the perfect balance of sweet yet a touch tart. Just like that little bit of mystery on a perfect date, that cocktail needs to have an element that leaves you wanting more.

The Cupid’s Arrow cocktail from Teremana Tequila is that perfect sip. While there is some sweetness, the use of balsamic vinegar is the element of intrigue. Instead of a bitters, the balsamic vinegar is the perfect complement to the strawberry.

If you already have a love match, the Strawberry Supernova could be the spark for that perfect night. Blending the strawberry puree with coconut water adds a luscious mouth feel. That hint of tropical flavor is the nuance that this cocktail needs.

While this recipe calls for a champagne floater, choose the sparkling wine wisely. A true champagne would be lovely, but a cava could also work. Just try to stay away from a sweeter sparkling wine.
