Give cheese lovers a gift of heart-shaped cheese. They’re not just charming—they taste great!
Or make the classic French cheese dessert, coeur a la crème. It’s made in a heart-shaped mold from mascarpone, heavy cream and a touch of Chambord (or other raspberry liqueur). It inspires feelings of love.

| If your guy or gal would rather have a good beer than a box of chocolates, here’s a special Valentine creation from the folks at O’Hara’s Irish Stout (named the World’s Number One Stout above 74 competing products at the world’s most prestigious beer competition, the Millennium Brewing Industry’s International Awards).
For your Valentine quaffing pleasure, mixologists combined O’Hara’s with Früli Strawberry Beer, a gold medal winner at the International Beer Competition in 2004. Made with high quality Belgian white beer and natural strawberry juice, Früli Strawberry Beer is a new, easy-drinking style of premium fruit beer, more “accessible” than traditional lambic fruit beers. It has sweet, rather than sour, beer characteristics.
Preparation
Combine 3 Parts O’Hara’s Irish Stout and 1 Part Früli Strawberry Beer in a handsome glass.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry.
Serve with a kiss.
Optional side dish: chocolate-covered strawberries.
