These pretty pink-tinged cocktails with rose-dappled ice cubes are the perfect drinks to share with your loved one on Valentine's Day, or to enjoy at a bridal shower or bachelorette party. The perfect suga-free cocktail for any special occasion!
The floral ice cubes add an extra pretty element to this low-carb drink, but if you haven’t made any ahead of time, you could simply use regular ice cubes and mix in some fresh or dried petals to the drink to serve.
We used gin to make these sugar-free cocktails but you can skip the alcohol or add and extra squeeze of lemon juice.
