DRINK THIS

If only all relationships could be as straightforward, sweet and satisfying as the Love Martini from date-night hotspot The Melting Pot.

To make your own Love Martini, remove the stem from a strawberry and slice the berry lengthwise. Cut a small “v” into the top of each slice to create a heart shape. Place several ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and add 1 ½ ounces coconut rum, 1 ounce peach schnapps and 2 ounces cranberry juice. Shake until chilled, strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the heart-shaped strawberry slices floating on top.
