Let's drink for love!
For a romantic dinner, in addition to dishes, you need to prepare drinks. When choosing you need to consider only your own taste and preferences of the second half. The classics are champagne, liquor, wine, but you can also buy beer. If it seems “coarse,” then plain or ginger ale will do. By the way, now in stores fruit beer with the taste of citrus and cherry is sold. Why not?
If you want something original, then you can make your own regular or alcoholic cocktails. They have one big plus - the ability to independently choose the composition and build on what is in the house.
