ConfessionsinGlass
About
Confessions in Glass is a Valentine’s mixlist built around the things people don’t always say out loud. It’s soft, romantic, a little indulgent, and just bold enough to feel honest. Every cocktail in this collection plays with contrast - bright gin and citrus against ripe strawberry, sparkling moments followed by deeper, nutty warmth from Crème de Noyaux.
This mixlist moves through the full arc of a Valentine’s night. There are floral openers that feel like first glances, bubbly pours made for toasts and laughter, and richer, more layered drinks meant for slowing down and leaning in. Nothing here is overly sweet or heavy-handed. The balance stays intentional, letting fruit feel lush, bubbles feel celebratory, and botanicals keep everything grounded.
Whether it’s a quiet night in, a candlelit dinner, or a playful celebration with someone special, Confessions in Glass is designed to be sipped slowly, shared freely, and remembered long after the last glass is empty.

VelvetRose
The Velvet Rose cocktail is soft, romantic, and quietly confident. It’s built around the classic pairing of gin and citrus, but warmed up with ripe strawberry syrup to create something richer and more expressive. Sipsmith London Dry Gin brings crisp juniper and herbal lift, while the strawberry adds body, color, and a gentle sweetness that feels indulgent without tipping into dessert territory.
SparklingBouquet
The Sparkling Bouquet cocktail is bright, floral, and built to feel celebratory without being loud. Think French 75 energy, softened and warmed with strawberry instead of sharp citrus. Sipsmith London Dry Gin provides a crisp botanical base, while strawberry syrup adds gentle fruit sweetness that feels more like fresh petals than jam. A small touch of simple syrup smooths the edges before prosecco lifts everything into a light, airy finish.
Cocoa-Berry
The Cocoa-Berry takes classic dessert flavors and flips them into something refreshing and easy to drink. Instead of going rich or creamy, this cocktail keeps things light and bright. Sipsmith London Dry Gin brings crisp botanicals that cut through the sweetness, while crème de noyaux adds a subtle almond-and-stone-fruit depth that feels warm and rounded rather than heavy.
PassionateHeart
The Passionate Heart cocktail is built to hold your attention without wearing you out. It’s bold, fruit-forward, and firmly anchored by gin, making it the kind of drink you can come back to again and again. Strawberry syrup brings softness and color, while Cointreau sharpens the edges with bright orange oils and just enough bitterness to keep things interesting.
SecretAdmirer
The Secret Admirer cocktail is all about contrast. On the surface, it’s light, bubbly, and celebratory - the kind of drink you’d happily raise for a toast. But beneath the sparkle, there’s something deeper going on. Sipsmith London Dry Gin and Cointreau bring clean citrus and crisp botanicals, while Crème de Noyaux quietly adds a soft, nutty richness that gives the drink its intrigue.
