Couples looking for ways to keep romance alive amid an active pandemic or everyday busyness may seek creative ways of keeping romance alive within the confines of their own homes. Stay-at-home dates can be just as fulfilling and enjoyable as travel-based dates; indulge in delicious drink mixes or homemade sweet snacks made in your own kitchen to make date nights even more pleasurable!

If you and your partner share an appreciation of cooking, consider taking part in a virtual cooking class together from the comfort of your own kitchen. Select from an assortment of Mediterranean, Latin or French-themed menu items that will satisfy your culinary curiosity while creating an unforgettable meal together. As an additional romantic date idea at home, why not plant and harvest fragrant varieties together all year long in an online herb garden?

Make a date night more exciting by enrolling in an online mixology class that enables you to create both modern and classic cocktails from the convenience of your own home! Led by professional mixologists, these classes feature a range of ingredients available for creative combinations. Foodies who appreciate tasting new flavors may want to sign up for an online wine tasting experience that takes place right at their own home with help from an expert sommelier.

Couples looking for some adventure can try an at-home escape room experience where they can work together to locate hidden items and complete an interactive adventure from the comfort of their own home. Or try virtual massage or yoga as a soothing date option to relieve tension and revitalize body and soul.

Mocktails provide an ideal non-alcoholic alternative to cocktails, offering vibrant colors and complex flavor profiles similar to their alcoholic counterparts – but without the alcohol content. The best mocktail recipes feature combinations of sweet, sour or fruity notes and can pair nicely with many entrees. To craft refreshing mocktails start by starting with ginger beer, tonic water, soda water or sparkling apple juice as a base and experiment by adding vodka or rum for more customization or try mixing different flavor combinations together.

Kombucha can be an excellent healthful drink option when looking for mocktail recipes, offering small amounts of alcohol while being extremely low in sugar content. Furthermore, its probiotic and beneficial bacteria content is also beneficial in improving overall health; you’ll likely find varieties such as triple citrus kombucha fizz or strawberry kombucha fizz at your local grocery store.

Some cocktails make great mocktails, like the Moscow Mule and Bloody Mary. Simply swapping out vodka with lemon-lime soda or ginger beer and mixing in some Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and black pepper can make for an outstanding beverage – garnish it off even further by including celery or rosemary skewers and blue cheese olives! Other cocktails may not work as effectively such as margaritas and old-fashioneds since their base ingredients include whiskey or gin.
