Valentine's Day Cocktails

While planning the menu for a romantic Valentine's Day don't forget the drinks!  However, you don't want to settle for the ordinary on such a special day. To help come up with a new favorite, Saveur Magazine has compiled a list of 9 Red Drinks for just this occasion.  In particular, I really like the red wine with strawberries. It adds a special touch to my favorite red wine.

1. Wash, hull, and halve strawberries lengthwise. Sprinkle berries with sugar, mix gently, then set aside to macerate for about 1 hour.

2. Divide berries among four wine glasses, then pour approximately 6 oz. of red wine to cover berries.
