  1. I have been more obsessed with Valentines cocktails now then before the holiday! My friends and I all got together and brought our own cocktail recipe. One of my friends brought a mixture of TY KU Liqueur, TY KU Soju and Diet Sprite. The taste was so crisp and refreshing, and she informed me it was under 100 calories. Ummm? More please!!
