If you love all things The White Lotus and you’re planning on having a season three watch party or already looking forward to season four, then you’ll want to check out these drinks.

Taking inspiration from the lavish Thailand setting of season three and classic, sophisticated flavors, actor Patrick Schwarzenegger has teamed up with Ketel One Vodka and Tanqueray Gin to create a pair of cocktails that capture the dark elegance of the show.

The White Lotus 60" Pre Premiere

Schwarzenegger stars in a bar-based video as part of the campaign, which introduces a tropical flavored punch using lime, mango, and pineapple as well as gin and vodka. And then there’s a take on the beloved martini, the Vesper, which includes both gin and vodka plus bitter aperitif for a moodier take on the classic martini flavor. The cocktails are also available to purchase as kits if you’re looking to stock up your home bar.

Think pink for romance with this rum and rose petal cocktail
A recipe out of Louisiana for the love season
Valentine gift rose wrapped on sheet rose petals

If you're looking for something a bit different to ring in Valentine's Day, this rum and rose drink may be it. The recipe is created by Ari Ballard,  the Events Coordinator at Turning Tables, a New Orleans-based bar training program for Black and Brown hospitality professionals. It makes use of rum from Oxbow Rum Distillery, made using sugarcane grown in Pointe Coupée, Louisiana, on the banks of the Mississippi River.

As well as the rum, the Cupid Spritz incorporates the always popular additions of lemon juice for sharpness and soda water for fizz, but it's the rose petals and rose syrup that really mark this drink out as a Valentine's Day special. Rose can be a tricky ingredient to work with because of its strong floral flavor, so it is used here in just a small splash of rose syrup to give a hint of lush floral flavors without being overpowering.
