Perfect for Valentine’s Day, this love potion vodka cocktail is beautiful, easy to make, and fun to drink! Great for a party or casual night in!
This fun Valentine’s Day vodka cocktail is made with three simple ingredients… vodka, peach schnapps, and grapefruit juice.
You may have some trouble getting some guys (and girls) to drink this fruity pink drink, but if you can manage to get them to take one sip… that’s all it will take! It’ll be love at first drink 😉
I love how simple this vodka cocktail is to make… just 3 ingredients! Shockingly, one of them is… wait for it… vodka. Lol, then add some peach schnapps and red grapefruit juice!
Not a grapefruit juice fan? No worries, you can substitute your favorite red/pink fruit juice… just make sure it goes well with peach flavor. Personally I find cherry juice or a juice that has raspberry in it are the best pairings.
This cocktail is obviously perfect for Valentine’s Day, with the fun pinkish color… but really it could be for all sorts of occasions! Mother’s Day, girls night, or any fun Spring/Summer gathering!
Garnishes for this drink are optional, but fun! I went with a strawberry and maraschino cherries, with a fun pink and white sugar rim.
For a fun twist, add a pinch of edible luster dust! It adds a beautiful sheen to the drink.
HELPFUL TOOLS:
- Cocktail Shaker – I have this set and it’s great!
- Edible luster dust – for that fun shimmer and sheen!

Made it just like recipe called for (even with the strawberry and cherry garnish) and both the guys and gals loved it! Definitely making it again – crowd pleaser!
Sharon A copello says
Delish!!! It is so good and a hit at our party ..thank you
Tara says
Hi I was wondering if there’s a way to make this drink a Mocktail? Without alcohol
The Chunky Chef says
Since two out the three ingredients are alcohol, I would just add some peach juice to grapefruit juice, and maybe top it off with sparkling water.
Erika says
It was an amazing drink because it was delicious and refreshing. Everyone at the party loved it!
Kat says
I am using this as a signature drink at my wedding. What would you use to describe what’s in the drink without just listing the ingredents?
The Chunky Chef says
I love that you want to use this recipe at your wedding! I’m sure you have, but I would definitely test the recipe out yourself first to make sure you love it. As for the description, I would say it’s a sweet and fruity drink, with a little touch of sour.
Kay says
Luved it.
ReNay says
Made this lovely drink twice since Valentine’s Day!
Katy says
Is the measurement per glass? How many does this serve?
Amanda says
The recipe makes a little over 1.5 cups; but how you choose to divide that for serving is up to you 🙂
Dwan says
I used a jalapeño vodka and made it spicy. Rimmed the glass with sugar and cayenne pepper. It was amazing!!!
Charles Alifano says
Who would ever make a cocktail and measure it out in cups. This isn’t real never use it
The Chunky Chef says
Because the average home cook may prefer it that way… you’re obviously free to convert it to oz if you prefer. If you’re not going to use this recipe, then I’m confused why you’re here.
Deez says
Maybe someone wanted to use the recipe, but found it awkward that it was in cups? Cocktails are almost always displayed in oz. because people that make cocktails use jiggers to measure, for the most part. Don’t worry, a lot of us won’t return here thanks to this comment.
The Chunky Chef says
Obviously you’re free to not return, but what I wrote wasn’t rude, despite the rudeness/passive agressiveness of the original comment. If I write a recipe in cups, I get hate. If I write a recipe in oz, I get hate. If I write a recipe with both, I get hate because it’s “confusing”. Some people just aren’t happy with free recipes.
Valerie says
I actually loooved that it was in cups More convenient and able to divide It tased delicious It was my signature birthday drink Everyone enjoyed it!
Daniela says
This is delicious! We just enjoyed the drinks with dinner. Perfect for two. Easy to make. We served it over ice this time.
Kirstie says
I tried this after looking up a strawberry mule recipe & realized I needed a stove to make it so I searched for something easier. Its become my all the time cocktail. It’s what I make whenever my husband and I relax on the weekend and have a drink. Something to note: its dangerous & will sneak up! Love it though. For someone that hates the taste of alcohol but love the idea of a drink, lifelong problem is finally solved!
Jenny says
