Honey_Sweetened_Raspberry_Moscow_Mules_Flourish_Caroline_PotterIf you can count on my husband for a few things it is that he will make you the best steak or smoked ribs dinner of your life and always make sure you have a drink in your hand.  Now when I mean drinks, I don’t necessarily mean alcoholic, but I do mean everything from hot coffee to sparkling water and my personal favorite, fresh lime margaritas!  We sort of have developed an afternoon routine of making drinks together, usually just sparkling water or a cappuccino for me and quite often a Moscow Mule for my husband.

So ladies, if your wondering what to get your man for Valentines, hint hint…these will never disappoint!

So don’t get lost wandering the beer aisles all afternoon like we did once!
