Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to share something special with the one you love. This year, why not elevate your romantic celebrations with Fentimans Rose Lemonade? Crafted with pure Otto rose oil from the renowned Rose Valley in Bulgaria, this Botanically Brewed drink is a delicately floral, refreshing accompaniment to an intimate meal. Here are some food pairing ideas to make your Valentine’s Day unforgettable.
1. Strawberry & Goats Cheese Salad
Start your meal with a light and elegant strawberry and goat cheese salad. The sweetness of the strawberries and the creaminess of the goat cheese harmonise beautifully with the floral notes of Fentimans Rose Lemonade, creating a fresh and flavourful combination. Add a handful of candied pecans or walnuts for extra texture and a touch of indulgence.
2. Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce
For the main course, a perfectly grilled salmon fillet topped with a zesty lemon butter sauce is a sophisticated yet accessible choice. The citrusy undertones of Fentimans Rose Lemonade complement the richness of the salmon while enhancing the brightness of the lemon sauce. Serve with a side of tender asparagus or roasted new potatoes for a complete meal.
3. Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli
Pasta always feels like a treat, and ricotta and spinach ravioli is a fantastic vegetarian option for Valentine’s Day. Pair this creamy, comforting dish with Fentimans Rose Lemonade to balance the richness of the filling with its crisp, floral effervescence. A light drizzle of sage butter sauce will elevate the dish to restaurant-quality.
4. Dark Chocolate Tart with Raspberries
End your meal on a high note with a decadent dark chocolate tart garnished with fresh raspberries. The deep, bittersweet flavour of the chocolate pairs exquisitely with the subtly sweet and aromatic profile of Fentimans Rose Lemonade. The raspberries add a fruity brightness that ties everything together.
