Valentine's Day is just a few short days away and I couldn't be more excited! Any guesses as to why? Well for starters it's an excuse to shake up pretty pink Cupid’s Kiss cocktails, craft my heart out making giftable bottles of Conversation Heart Vodka and demonstrate it all live on air today at 11:30 PST with Good Housekeeping Magazine’s food editors on Google+. I sure hope you will join me. My heart is all a flutter!

Step 1: Make Conversation Heart Vodka - recipe via Food & Feminity

1. Start with 1 bag conversation hearts (about 160) and 3 to 4 cups or your favorite vodka.
2. Separate the conversation hearts by color. For each color, put hearts and vodka (about ½ cup for every 20 hearts) in a clean water bottle or other resealable plastic container. Let soak 15 minutes, shaking vigorously every few minutes, until the hearts are mostly dissolves and the vodka is flavored/colored.
3. Strain into jars or bottles.

*Freutcake note: Each color heart is a different flavor! I made one big batch of vodka using all pink conversation hearts. Depending on the brand of conversation hearts this flavor will be either strawberry or cherry.

    What a sweet cocktail. So colourful, and perfect for Love Day!

    I've tried something similar with Werther's Originals and with Skittles (separate, together would not taste nice). Definitely worth a try!
