If you’re looking for inspiration on how to spend Valentine’s Day this year, look no further than these 4 new cocktails which have been created by Ellustria. Each cocktail has been been inspired by Old Hollywood legends: Some Like it Hot, named after the Marilyn Monroe | You Were Never Lovelier, is in honour of the Fred Astaire and Rita Hayward duo | Love Me or Leave Me, created in memory of Doris Day | Love Me Tender, is a nod to Elvis Presley.
