• St. Valentine loves mead.

If you need to give your Valentine’s Day a special charge consider this mead from Nectar of the Gods Meadery. It’s a quadruple aphrodisiac! Quadruple because mead itself is said to be a love potion and this one in particular is made with pomegranate, passion fruit and rose—all known aphrodisiacs. So there you have it. The perfect drink! Cheers, St. Valentine!

This is my favorite NOG mead so far—not too sweet and not overly alcohol-y tasting. We’re sampling it here in the office and so far no one is making out. We’ll keep you posted though.

You can find it at Crows Feet Commons, available for a limited time only. The “Viking Love Juice” is also at The Horned Hand Mead Hall.
