As a bartender, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless romantic moments unfold behind the bar. From nervous first dates to milestone anniversaries, couples have always been on the hunt for that special something to set the mood ablaze.

But not just any drink will do – it has to be an aphrodisiac cocktail, with ingredients specifically chosen for their alleged powers of seduction.
