A dry champagne cocktail with slightly sweet hints of cherry. Expect some orange fruit with a potent attack and a slightly sweet off-dry cherry finish. Something a bit sexy for Valentine's Day in terms of cocktails, with champagne to kick off the celebration.

The carbonation tickles your tongue and who doesn't want that on Valentine's Day?

We're adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another "tea" style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. Bourbon brings its own flavor and finish to the drink making this a cocktail all its own.

You don't have to be from Texas to enjoy the potent flavors of the Texas Tea Recipe.
