The easiest place to find cocktail inspiration this time of year? The farmers' market. Shop for summer-seasonal fruits like strawberries and raspberries (because who doesn't love a good berry cocktail?) and fresh herbs to liven up your alcoholic drinks at home.

For a special occasion—particularly one you’re sharing with a partner or a friend—it's nice to mix things up (literally) with a new cocktail or two. Try one (or more) of these great drink recipes this Valentine’s Day.

You can still share warmth and toast to the end of the year with your loved ones. These easy, elegant recipes will help you turn your holiday cocktail party into a virtual holiday happy hour.
