PS I love you
St Valentine’s Day is approaching and it’s that time of year when everybody feels in love (at least for one day) and when hotels, restaurants and bars prepare specialties for the most romantic day of the year. On this day, you can also say “I Love You” by making the cocktail below or one of your own love potions. Salute and happy San Valentino!
