After having gone through the better part of the Rat Pack with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra from 2018-2020 and Elvis Presley in 2021 we ventured into the movie with a James Bond themed pumpkin in 2022.

The Queen’s Cocktail, also known as the Dubonnet Cocktail was the favorite cocktail of the late Queen.

Time to spread some love again! Actually, maybe it’s about time to spread some lovin’, not only on Valentine’s Day but keep spreading it every day of the year, to friend and foe alike. This year we let the beautiful Bocca Sofa designed by the Italian Studio 65 in 1972 symbolize the day.

However you celebrate it, have a Very Happy Valentine’s Day!

And remember to make Each Day Valentine’s Day!
