Hey mes amis!!! Welcome back to my latest blog-post-mini-series, titled, "Cupid's Café," where I thought it’d be cool to bring you some fun & exciting recipes that’ll impress you, your bae, & your loved ones for Valentine's Day! C’mon guys & gals...Let’s think OUTSIDE the box this year as opposed to succumbing to those long lines at the same restaurants doing the sameee damn thing! Show your love that you went above & beyond this time around. So sit tight and pucker up as I welcome you to Cupid’s Café.

For this blog post...I decided to take it back to a classic. I took the French 75 and added a strawberry twist for what I call a Strawberry French Kiss 75. Watch me make it here!
