For avid travelers who can’t get away this Valentine’s Day, Azamara shares a romantic cocktail recipe, offering the feel of being at sea from the comfort of your home.

 

The Heart of Azamara is a refreshing cocktail served at Atlas Bar, the new and exclusive specialty bar on the line’s latest ship, Azamara Onward. Even if you aren’t on the new ship, guests can still enjoy innovative cocktails aboard all four ships through the newly introduced Atlas Bar Experience.

 

This romantic drink helps ignite fire and passion on romantic voyages like the 12-Night Italy Intensive Voyage, offering stops in the captivating city of Venice and the beautiful Amalfi Coast, or the 11-Night France Intensive Voyage with overnight stays in Paris. For lovers spending Valentine’s Day at home, spice up the night by making this delicious cocktail yourself.

  • 1 ounce fresh strawberry puree
  • ¾ ounces fresh-squeezed lime
  • ½ ounces Galliano
  • Hint of absinthe
  • 1¼ ounces passionfruit nectar juice
