Golden Tips for Valentine's Day by Quetzalli

By Ken KomiyaJune 06, 2025

Valentine's Day is that time of year when everything demands a little extra attention: the gift, the dinner, the weather, the drinks, the affection. It's when messages get extra emojis, dates last a little longer, and the desire to surprise also grows.

But... how can you be romantic on Valentine's Day without falling into the obvious? How can you create a light, fun, intimate, and unforgettable atmosphere? We'll show you—with drinks, itinerary ideas, bars, motels, and that little nudge that only Quetzalli can give.

The power of a good drink (and what it has to do with romance)

A Valentine's Day drink isn't just a drink: it's an invitation. When you offer a beautiful, well-made, and tasty glass, you're saying you cared about the moment. You're building a memory. A toast has its own time. A moment where two eyes meet, where the night begins to become history.

And with Quetzalli, this ritual becomes even more special. Made with natural fruits and tropical combinations, our drinks have an aphrodisiac—but light—feel. A "vibe" without exaggeration, with real flavor. And best of all: they're ready to drink. No mixing, no mess—just open, add ice, and serve.

How to Be Romantic on Valentine's Day — Even If It's Not Your Style

Not everyone is naturally romantic. But that doesn't mean you can't create a memorable moment.

Here are some simple (and potentially heart-melting) ideas:

Create a "love menu" with an appetizer, main course, and drink. Give each item funny or sensual names.
Make a personalized playlist with songs that tell your story.
Prepare a “reasons box” with 10 sentences saying why you love this person.
Create a home spa with candles, massage, foot baths, and ice-cold Quetzalli.
Take a nostalgic tour: visit the places where you shared special moments.

Or... choose a motel with a different suite and let the environment speak for you 👇
