Cooking in Stilettos? Well, maybe it’s more like Mephistos these days but boy do I love my Louboutin and Le Creuset. This month I was assigned Cooking in Stilettos as part of the Blogger Clue Society this month. What’s not to love – Aly, the creative force behind Cooking in Stilettos is all about cooking, baking, cocktails, her little Sous Pug and loving those Louboutins.
Our theme this month was all bout red and romance, and what says romance more than an amorous cocktail. (Okay, maybe diamonds or Louboutins, but its up for debate.) Aly has a great selection of cocktails on her blog and I decided to take some inspiration from her Bella Fruta Cocktail and adapt it to ingredients I had on hand. The end result is Love Potion No. 9. It is a delightfully red and romantic cocktail to serve, a little fruity and a whole lot of sassy.

I love those heart shaped ice cubes… what a fantastic way to toast Valentine’s Day!
This looks beyond gorgeous – those ice cubes set the mood perfectly (and who doesn’t love a little Chambord action, right?)
I love those little chambord heart ice cubes!!!!
This cocktail sounds wonderful and I’m not a big drinking person! I am totally in love with those ice cubes, lol!!
Those ice cubes are phenomenal! And such a scrumptious cocktail to pair with them. Well done, Christy!!!
What a beautiful cocktail for Valentine’s Day. The ice cubes are darling!
Oh yes, this cocktail looks spectacular! But those ice cubes – I would happy plopping those into a glass of bubbly and sipping the day away.
These are so pretty and the photograph is gorgeous! I would be sucking down those ice cubes all by themselves!
What a stunning cocktail and SO perfect for Valentine’s Day! Love the ice cubes!
Agreed… not sure I can swing the stilettos, especially after a few of these potions!! But oh how I would enjoy one of these right about now. Perfect choice!
I love Aly, and while I choose to cook in comfy slippers instead of stilettos, see a lot of myself in the foods she makes. This drink you chose is a good example. Both versions look absolutely fantastic, and I love that you chose Chambord because it’s one of my favorite liqueurs.
Yes, I would like a double please!
I love those ice cubes the most! what cheeky fun is that?? 🙂
Love the Chambord and raspberry ice hearts! They make for a flashy cocktail! How fun.
This looks scrumptious!! Love the heart cubes, great idea!
