Sweetheart Cocktail
I whipped up this sweet, delicious cocktail for my wife and me to share on our 17th anniversary. A refreshing blend of rum, Grand Marnier, blood orange bitters, and a dash of agave nectar made for a sweet ending to our anniversary day.

You could also substitute simple syrup for the agave. I used agave as I didn’t have time to whip up a batch of simple syrup. You could also try club soda instead of water.
Aren’t YOU a sweetheart to create this for your special day. Thanks and congratulations.
