Love Potion #9

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I've got the perfect cocktail for you, the Love Potion #9. It combines cran-raspberry juice, vodka, lemon-lime soda, and simple syrup for a deliciously sweet yet slightly tart drink. The cran-raspberry juice adds lots of flavor and gives the drink its beautiful red color. Adding a bit of dry ice to each glass helps it look like a real life love potion ready to claim its first victim.
