Valentine’s Day. You either love it or hate it. It can be a day to celebrate your love for your significant other. Or it can be a day that just further reminds you that you’re single. But hey, either way, we say grab a cocktail and enjoy yourself. Whether you’re single, taken, or somewhere in-between, everyone can appreciate these brand new, delicious Smirnoff and Hornitos Valentine’s Day cocktails.
So grab your S.O., BFF or mix one up by yourself:
