It’s date night: dinner is almost ready, the music is perfect, and you’re ready to spend quality time together. All that’s left is to whip up the perfect romantic drinks. If you’re planning a romantic night in with alcoholic beverages, Columbia Distributing shares five top date night drinks for the most special of occasions.
1. Champagne co*cktail
Always an elegant choice, champagne co*cktails elevate any at-home date night. Best of all, they’re easy to make, so even amateur mixologists look like pros. All you’ll need is a bottle of your favorite bubbly, Angostura bitters, and sugar cubes. For a festive touch, look for red or pink cubes to add the color of love.
There’s no need for a co*cktail shaker or special equipment. Simply add the sugar cube to the glass, top with bitters and then champagne, and finish with a twist of lemon.
2. Sangria
Sangria is made by the pitcher, so you won’t have to interrupt a conversation to prepare more co*cktails. While traditional sangria is usually made with red wine, using white or rosé makes it easy to create a drink your sweetheart can’t resist. Gather your favorite fresh fruits, cut them into mid-size pieces, and then mix them with the wine. It’s that easy! Serve over ice for a sweet, flavorful refresher. You can even blend brandy, rum, tequila, or other spirits into the mix for an added kick.
3. Cape Codder
This drink offers a gorgeous red hue that reflects the love in the air. Plus, you likely already have the simple ingredients needed to prepare it on hand. The Cape Codder blends cranberry juice and vodka with sparkling club soda and lime juice for a tart flavor with plenty of fizz that pairs well with almost any dish you’re planning to prepare.
4. Sex on the Beach
A Sex on the Beach co*cktail is every bit as delicious as its name is provocative, and making these drinks with your partner is likely to spark flirty fun. These mixed drinks deliver a sweet, fruity flavor that’s perfect for those who don’t love the taste of alcohol but enjoying indulging from time to time.
Cranberry and orange juice give the Sex on the Beach its beautiful sunrise colors, while the punch comes from a mix of peach schnapps and vodka. Garnish yours with orange slices, maraschino cherries, and paper umbrellas for a tropical escape at home.
5. Pink Lady
Was this co*cktail inspired by Rizzo, Sandy, and the rest of the gang from Grease? Its history dates back much farther and is rumored to be a Prohibition favorite. Today, its pink color and tart flavor make it a great choice for romantic evenings. You’ll need an egg to prepare your drinks. Separate the yolk and store the egg white before your guest arrives to save a little hassle and mess.
To make your own Pink Lady, gather egg whites, brandy, gin, lemon juice, and grenadine. Mix it up in a shaker, and then top each glass with a cherry before serving.

The syrup's rich, deep date flavor pairs wonderfully with a nutty but dry amontillado sherry. Here, my fall-inspired riff on the Martinez mixes the sherry with equal parts gin to dry out the drink and lend some contrasting juniper and pine flavors.

“We want people to think of guaro when they think of Colombia, the same way one thinks of mezcal to Mexico, or cachaça to Brazil,” says Moises Mendal. Guaro—the colloquial name for aguardiente—is Colombia's national spirit, distinct with its soft notes of anise layered over tropical fruit, and a perceivable sweetness.
Named the Refajo co*cktail, this is Colombia's signature tipple. Incorporating Colombiana, the country's own fruity soda, beer and spirits, it's light, summery and fruity. There's no better way to kick off the weekend. Like all nations, Colombia has its own soda, which is the base of this wonderful concoction.
In Spanish, the response we learn for someone who has sneezed, salud, directly translates to health. I learned in middle school that it can also be used as a toast before a round of drinks, though Colombians seem to prefer a more ritualized: ¡pa'rriba, pa'bajo, pa' centro, pa'dentro!
Colombia. In Colombia, aguardiente is an anise-flavored liqueur derived from sugarcane, popular in the Andean region. Different flavors are obtained by adding different amounts of aniseed, leading to extensive marketing and fierce competition between brands. Aguardiente has 24%–29% alcohol content.
