2 Simple-To-Make Cocktails Perfect For A Galentine’s Night In

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching – or if you’re anything like us, you’ll be celebrating Galentine’s Day instead.

February is a time for love, for spreading joy, and for showing those closest that you care. So make sure you grab the gals, mix some delicious cocktails, and plan the perfect night in.

Schweppes has put together two refreshing and flavour-filled cocktails that we’re super excited to try this Galentine’s Day.

The country’s best loved mixer has created two iconic drinks ideal for socialising with your besties this month. Sip away on them for the evening while watching a movie, or enjoy them before heading out on the town – the possibilities for a fun-filled night are endless!

The Stewed Rhubarb cocktail has undertones of custard candies making it both sweet and aromatic. Bubbles from Schweppes Tonic lifts the drink before creating a welcome zesty and dry bite.

The Pretty in Pink cocktail pairs sweet Schweppes Pink Soda with cranberry juice, gin and Aperol to create a delicious, low-calorie drink, with an aromatic blend of lemon, lime, and orange.

You won’t be stuck for anything sweet this Galentine’s Day – and what better way to celebrate than with a pretty pink Schweppes soda?
