There is a very specific moment every February where I decide my kitchen needs to feel like a romantic movie. I open the curtains even if it is cold, I put on music, and I start slicing strawberries like I am about to host the most put together brunch in the world. Meanwhile I am still in fuzzy socks and my sink is absolutely full of dishes. This drink came from one of those afternoons. I did not want something heavy. I did not want hot cocoa. I wanted something pretty. The kind of drink you hand someone and they smile before they even taste it. Something you could make for a friend, your kids, your mom, or honestly just yourself after a long day. The first time I poured it over ice and the strawberries floated to the top, I knew it was staying. It feels special, but it takes maybe five minutes, and that is my favorite kind of recipe. Sweet, lightly citrusy, a tiny bit floral, and bubbly. It tastes like Valentine’s without being overpowering.
