Galentine's Day Cocktails
We have Amy Poehler (as Leslie Knope) to thank for this essential, girlfriends-only holiday. In her words:
"Every February 13, my ladyfriends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas."
So gather your gal pals and make it a good one with one of these delicious, unabashedly pink cocktail creations. With ingredients like berries, chocolate, bubbles and rose petals, you have a recipe for the best girl's night ever.
