The art of entertaining at a wedding means having the most superb and  appropriate signature cocktail for the occasion. That’s why I reached out to my favorite wine & spirits company, Charbay Artisanal Spirits, and discovered some of their winter favorites that have been tried and true for many local, infamous mixologists who have concocted these cocktails to woo their customers and keep them warm over the chilly months. With winter nuptials in the works here are some the hottest cocktail ideas for a winter wonderland wedding.

Part of being a romantic travel writer is to add value and romance to your destination, wherever that may be. Whether you are two are seeking the sun at a tropical beachside location or looking to hideaway in a rustic cabin resort, these tips, suggestions and travel advice will allow you plan and enjoy a truly romantic travel experience.

Romantic Travel Tip #1
One sexy way to maximize your dollars while traveling is by booking a romantic package. Many boutique hotels and resorts, ranging in star ratings, amenities and size, offer romantic packages year-around. Most romantic packages include heartfelt seductive additions to the purchase of your accommodations.  For example, some of the embellishments include couples massages, rose pedal-filled beds, dinner reservations, massage oils and often a bottle of bubbles-on-ice upon your arrival. Securing an irresistible getaway will be guaranteed.

Romantic Travel Tip #2
Don’t forget to pack romantic travel essentials; travel candles, massage oils and lingerie. Spice your vacation up even more with erotic games and intellectually stimulating activities that create opportunities to learn more about one another. In our typical routine and comfortable surroundings, dialogue tends to circle around the same topics of conversation. Travel often evokes a daring spirit and gives them the chance to explore old dreams and suppressed desires. Now is your opportunity to discover the other side of your partner.

Romantic Travel Tip #3
Bonding Activities include Italian cooking classes, kite-surfing lessons in Hawaii or cherishing a hike Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro together. These travel adventures create memories together and cement that loving bond that you both share. No matter if you are on  your first trip-away together, honeymooning or celebrating your twenty-fifth wedding anniversary continuing to challenge one another and discover new destinations together builds an unshakable bond and lasting memories.
