Allow us to set the scene. Rose petals, chocolate covered strawberries and bubbles. Except the bubbles have had a glow up. The Pink 75 is a flirty twist on the classic French 75. With Beefeater Pink Strawberry and an elderflower twist, your date will be delightfully surprised.

Deceptively simple and low effort but by dressing up the glass with a gorgeous garnish, this one is sure to impress. Use champagne rosé for extra romance. Expectations will be high, the Pink 75 will exceed them without breaking a sweat.

BEEFEATER GIN MARTINI

Is there anything dishier than a Martini? If it’s good enough for James Bond or Kris Jenner, it’s good enough for your hot date. The fresh punch of lemon peel, the chilled glass, the silky, velvety texture.

The martini is a staple for any date night, and with Beefeater’s London Dry in your corner, you’re onto a winner.

Top tip: wow your guest and freeze the gin and the glasses before making the martinis. This will keep them colder for longer (colder = better).
