If you are looking to impress your significant other you might consider an elevated cocktail. Watch as Good Day NWA’s Jason Suel makes 2 cocktails.

This first called a Whale You Be Mine because it features Gray Whale Gin.

Gray Whale Gin is the fastest growing, award-winning gin with a mission of ocean conservation. Every purchase of Gray Whale Gin gives back to 1% for the Planet and Oceana, the largest organization in the world devoted to ocean conservation. It’s perfected with sustainable sourced and wild harvested botanicals foraged along the migratory path of gray whales.
