Our friends at Match.com sure know how to serve up a stiff drink mixed with stellar panel for Singles in America! The blogging community gathered over swanky bites and an intimate conversation at Toshi’s Living Room & Penthouse in the Flatiron Hotel to talk relationships — with Patti Stanger and Perez Hilton no less! While, Jonathan Pogash, The Cocktail Guru, did a quick demo of the 3 Van Gogh Vodka signature vodka cocktails he created just in time for Valentine’s Day. 
Created custom for the event with the day of love in mind, Jonathan Pogash, did a pomegranate based drink using Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka, a Bellini option based with Van Gogh Cool Peach Vodka, and a yummy sweet chocolate drink (it’s like dessert!) with Van Gogh Rich Dark Chocolate Vodka. All of the vodka based cocktails went down smooth, the pomegranate one wasn’t overly sweet or tart which I appreciated. I’m not a peach vodka person in general so the Bellini was less my speed. And the Chocolate option was way too delicious — I could sip it down in seconds. The recipe’s are below!
My Honey Valentine:
1-1/2 oz. Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka
3/4 oz. pomegranate juice
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz. honey syrup (equal parts honey and hot water stirred until the honey
dissolves)
Shake ingredients very well with ice and strain into martini glass or over ice into
a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.
Cool Peach Bellini:
1 oz. Van Gogh Cool Peach Vodka
1-1/2 oz. Peach Puree
3 oz. Prosecco
Directions: In a mixing glass stir the vodka and puree well. Add the Prosecco
with ice and gently fold the ingredients (without stirring too much, as this will
remove bubbles). Strain into a chilled champagne flute. Top off with extra
Prosecco and garnish with a fresh peach when in season.
Spice It Up:
1 1/2 oz. Van Gogh Rich Dark Chocolate Vodka
3/4 oz. milk
1/2 oz. cinnamon syrup
Directions: Shake well with ice and strain into martini glass.
Garnish: pinch of chili powder sugar (equal parts cayenne pepper and sugar
