The Clover Club is *chef's kiss.*

Happy (early) Valentine's Day, everybody! This year, whether you're having a romantic evening in, partying with the girls, or sitting at home alone watching Hugh Grant movies, I have the perfect cocktail for you.

So, if you're looking to make your Valentine's celebrations a little special, here are five great (and pretty simple) recipes for you to try. 

1. The French Blonde

I recently wrote another post about this hidden gem of a cocktail, which we were blessed with the knowledge of after Taylor Swift ordered one at a Kansas City restaurant. She has good taste because I made this and it was amazing; I thought it'd be cute for Valentine's Day because it's pink and floral, which is really all you need. So, here's how to make it for yourself!

Difficulty rating: a little involved.

What you'll need:

Julia Corrigan

- 2 ounces Lillet Blanc

- 2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice

- 1 ounce dry gin 

- 1/2 ounce St. Germain (or other elderflower liqueur)

- 3 dashes lemon bitters (but I used orange)

How to make it:

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake, and strain into a glass. That's it! 

2. The Espresso Martini
