| Make This Now: Pasta with Red Wine Ragù |
|
| Pasta is always a winner on Valentine’s Day! This Goodtaste original recipe calls for an entire bottle of red wine to make a deeply flavorful beef-and-pork ragù. The sauce is best after slow cooking on the stove for a few hours, so you can make it the day before, or start it in the morning so your house smells incredible come dinnertime. Get the recipe HERE. |

| DIY: ‘The Whale Flower’ Cocktail |
|
| This refreshing citrus cocktail from Gray Whale Gin is the perfect use for peak-season grapefruit (and quite festive for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?). Gray Whale uses seaweed in their botanical blend, giving their gin a touch of salinity that is delicious with juicy citrus. Learn how to make this cocktail and more Instagram-worthy Valentine’s Day drinks HERE. |
