When I stop to think about romance, it usually involves setting the mood. Candles, flowers, and of course the perfect drink to cheers to the ones you love – be they friends, family or my hubby.

Veuve Clicquot DoTheDaniel.com Valentine's Day

Veuve Clicquot 

Who doesn’t love a classic? I have countless memories sipping Veuve with friends around the world, and it is for that reason I will be doing it again for Valentine’s Day with Julio. “Veuve Clicquot Brut and Rosé are presented in a classic gift box. Elegant and sensual, the Champagne offers exceptional balance and surprising intensity.”

Dom Pérignon

I actually purchased a bottle of Rosé Vintage 2004 Dom Pérignon for Julio this past Christmas as a special gift for that special someone in my life. This elevated maison has been creating some of the most sought after bubbly around the world – and for good reason.

“Dom Pérignon announce its newest creative collaboration, “From Earth to Heart” a creative encounter between Chris Cunningham and Björk, two of the world’s most avant-garde  artists, celebrated for their boundless vision. The collaboration has also inspired a unique limited edition that features Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 in its first Plénitude.”

Belvedere Vodka

Don’t just choose any old vodka when planning something special, make sure to pick up one of our favourites! “Belvedere Vodka is the original and true expression of luxury vodka, created from 600 years of Polish vodka-making tradition. The vodka itself is always authentic, and never artificial. Created exclusively from Polish Dankowskie Rye and quadruple-distilled to create the perfect balance of character and purity ; it is completely free of additives, including sugar or glycerin.”

Here are some delicious recipes they shared with us just in time for Valentine’s Day to inspire your very own memorable moments:

Hennessy

There’s something quite special about sipping Hennessy when I stop to think about it. I picture a fireplace, a fur rug and some jazz playing in the background. That’s just my interpretation of this complex cognac, but I’m sure it means something equally as special to you. I also truly appreciate their collaboration with incredible people around the world, as we wrote about recently. 

“Hennessy Very Special is a reference in the art of blending with its unique style. The union of warm-hearted and full-bodied flavours, Hennessy V.S endures through the ages and pleases connoisseurs searching for a very special moment.”

If you don’t enjoy sipping it on ice like I do, here are a few recipes to try for yourself:
