Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Do you have plans? I do. But it’s a secret and I don’t want to spoil the surprise yet! The other day we discussed a little bit about how Mr. Yum and I use Valentine’s Day as an excuse. I’ll for showing love year-round, not just one day a year. But, our life is full of responsibilities just like everyone else and every once in a while we need a little R&R. We need to recharge our batteries, otherwise life will drag us down and we are useless to the world around us.
Hubs isn’t much of a drinker. When he does drink he wants to drink things where he can’t taste any alcohol. I wanted to make him something new (to him) and fun for Valentine’s Day. So, he’s my inspiration for these Valentine’s cocktails. He loves cherries so I thought it would be perfect to find a few recipes for him.
I hope you find something you like, too.

I am a big sucker for cherry based beverages! The Sangria in this post looks like heaven in a glass!
Pretty much! I could go for one of those right about now since we are stuck in the house from all the snow today.
Me too! I get a cherry lime-ade every time we go to sonic. And my favorite soda is cherry flavored.
Those are gorgeous, and that Magical Disappearing Drink is awesome! I’m getting thirsty now …
Very fun thing to do with the spouse or even to make them for the kids.. The color really makes it a fun time.
I absolutely love cherry-flavored everything! My favorite cocktail is an Old Fashioned, and I always order them with a little cherry juice added. Every one of these looks fabulous … I think I must try them all!
All of these look So good! I wonder if my husband and I could try every one of these on Valentine’s Day if we took our time. =D
Ohh I love cherries so what I would do to try one these! Delicious! x
I have not had any of these. I should make more mixed drinks at home. I tend to just drink without the mix.
This is such a great list of drinks. I need to make one for my girl’s day with my friends. All of our husband’s work Saturday night so we are going to hang out together and drink.

The blood red sangria looks like something I would enjoy. It looks so tasty, definitely going to try it out on Valentine’s Day.
This is such a great round up! I’m definitely going to have to try some of these this month!
OMG how did I forget singapore slings were even a thing?! I used to love those drinks.
These cocktails are perfect for Valentine’s Day. I love that they are red and that they are adult beverages.
These drinks are very pretty. I am sure they would be a great treat on Valentines Day.
Those recipes all look good but what caught my eye the most is the Fireball Whiskey Cheesecake Shots. Now I’m craving for one! It’s pretty and delicious!
All of those really look good and deliciously yummy! These are fitting for Valentine’s Day!
I have never tried a cherry cocktail sadly. This sounds delicious!
The cherry limeade drink sounds good! Heck, all of these do!
My husband and I don’t drink much either but these look like some fun drinks and you have to live a little once and awhile. I would love to try the Fireball Whiskey Cheesecake Shots.
Dont those just look amazing?!??!!
Great round up! They all look so good that it makes me want to try all the recipes. It’s summer here in SA and we could do with one of these everyday!
I don’t drink at all, but these look really yummy! I would probably want mine alcohol free, but I think I’d still love it!
All these cherry cocktail recipes are lookin’ hot and sexy – very appropriate for the month of hearts. Dirty Shirley and A la Singapore Sling are my favorites.
This is so original to me! I never thought of cherries for drinks. i love the idea and are ready to try these suggestions out!
Lots of good ways to use cherries here. And you reminded me that I want to pick up some perrier. 🙂
All of these drinks look fantastic. I will have to try the Cherry-Limeade Sangria first.
I do not drink but I bet these are great virgin. Perfect for Valentine’s!
I really don’t enjoy the taste of alcohol at all anymore. The Magical Disappearing Drink is definitely right up my alley and I will be making it!!
These are so fun! I don’t like the taste of alcohol in my drinks either!
I’m not really big on Valentine’s Day. But these drinks are something I could celebrate!
These look fantastic! I’m drooling over the cherry cheesecake shots.
I need to get busy. Gotta try several of these before the big day.
Ohmy i’d love to try them all in a taste tester event. I wonder if that would bring in a lot of people if we can prepare them all. Yummmm the cherry whisky smash looks delicious
These look and sound really good! I’ll have to try these with my Husband on Valentine’s Day!
Oh wow….these all look great! I’m not even sure which one to try first!
I could use one of these about now. Look delish!
I love cherry flavored drinks! Usually we do strawberry on Valentine’s Day, but I may shake things up this year and go with one of these cherry recipes!
These are great cocktail recipe and i love cherries. I can’t wait to try them.
Yum – I love cherry anything!. This is a great roundup of cherry drinks.
I’ll take one of each! Seriously, these look amazing and so fun for the upcoming holiday. I definitely want to try a few out. Thanks for the ideas!
I am not a fan of marachino cherries. When I was a vh old my parent took me out to dinner and I wanted q Shirley TEMPLE and aft 2 I felt sick. Ugh.
When is cherry season there in Michigan? I’ll see about doing some of these since we’re moving there!
Traverse City is the cherry capital. Every summer they have a Cherry Festival. It’s big. Famous people come. Did you know Madonna has a home up there? They also keep the cherries out until the first freeze. Then pick. They make some special frozen frost cherry wine. So it seems like the season is late spring all the way to fall.
To be honest, I don’t think I ever had a cocktail drink. I did drink beer but couldn’t remember the last time either. The husband and I talked about drinking cocktails before but never got around to do it. I think I will have to remind him about it again and I think I will tell him about that Fireball Whiskey Cheesecake Shots. He likes whiskey. He’ll be over the moon. 🙂
Oh man these all look so delicious and refreshing! Pour me one! 🙂
The Magical Disappearing Drink is definitely something that looks like hubby and I would love. Actually they all look incredible.
Those look and sound so yummy! I would probably eat the cherry before drinking the drink – lol
Hey, I might not have a boyfriend but I will sure make for myself these coctails. Thanks for sharing.
These are all amazing. They look so delish I have to try them.
I would have to try some of these – great and yummy roundups you have here!
I am not much of a cocktail drinker but when I do have a cocktail I like something a little fruity.
OMG! All of those look so good. I think I’m getting buzzed just looking at them. Yum!
Love it! Did Mr. Yum like any of them?
He liked them all, but only if I didn’t add a lot of booze. LOL
