Valentine's Day Pink Sweetie Valen-Tini cocktail in a martini glass, filled with a bright coral-pink drink and rimmed with sparkling white sugar crystals. A red heart-shaped gummy candy covered in white sugar is perched on the rim, and a pink-and-white striped paper straw extends from the drink. The background is dreamily soft-focused, showing additional pink martinis, pink decorative elements, and warm golden candlelight bokeh, creating an ethereal Valentine's atmosphere.

  • 1 Strainer Fine-mesh

Method
 

  1. Dip the rim of a martini glass in water and then sugar to create a sparkly border.
