Love Potion No. 9

ABOUT

Surprise your significant other or secret admirer with this magical Valentine’s Day concoction.

The base spirit for this cocktail is CÎROC vodka. Like all vodka’s, CÎROC is a neutral spirit — which means it is meant to be colorless, flavorless and odorless. What makes CÎROC unique is that it is five times distilled from fine French grapes harvested in Southern France.

We add a rich berry flavor by muddling ripe strawberries in simple syrup and adding Chambord — a black raspberry liqueur. We balance the cocktail out by adding fresh lemon juice.

This cocktail is best served up in a cocktail or martini glass. A strawberry garnish is optional.
