Date nights at home deserve more credit! Sure, a fancy dinner out or a trip to the local wine bar is always a good time, but there’s something special about a cosy night in—especially with a little creativity.
From an op-shop-inspired dinner date to belting out ballads over homemade gyoza and these cocktails from Dan Murphy’s, these fun at-home ideas are perfect for Valentine’s or Galentine’s. Who knows? Staying in might just become the new going out!
Strawberry Champagne Punch cocktail
Just look at the Strawberry Champagne Punch cocktail – you can practically taste its gorgeous, juicy, bubbly sweetness through the screen. The pay-off comes when you actually make it and discover that it tastes even better than it looks.
Cherry Margarita cocktail
This Cherry Margarita cocktail lifts the traditional Marg to new festive heights. Using the Tommy’s Margarita base recipe, which switches both triple sec and sugar syrup for agave syrup, expect a bright cocktail that effortlessly balances sweet with tart and salty, and has a whole load of freshness. It’s pretty in pink, too.
Raspberry Limoncello Martini cocktail recipe
Fresh raspberries and lemon juice bring tang and tart, while a lick of limoncello opens the door to a subtle syrupy texture and sophisticated sweetness. Genius! Dan Murphys is left with no other option but to raise their Raspberry Limoncello Martinis and thank the lucky stars that this instant-classic cocktail just landed.
