Galentine’s Day Cocktail and Bar Cart -invite your girlfriends over and celebrate with a pretty Valentine’s Day Bar Cart and Galentine’s Day Drink. A Dirty Shirley is the grown up alcoholic version of your favourite girlhood drink!

It’s almost time for Galentine’s Day and that calls for a fun cocktail and a cute bar cart to celebrate love with your girlfriends! We made a grown-up version of our childhood favourite Shirley Temples. It’s the perfect Galentine’s Day drink. These Dirty Shirleys have all the sweetness and fun of your girlhood memories, with the addition of a little alcohol for your grownup pleasure.

Galentine’s Day Bar Cart

I used my bar cart and decorated it for Valentine’s Day. Every Galentine’s Day needs pretty flowers, some candy, and some great girly drinks -check, check, check.

The heart garland is a DIY marble -see how I made it here.

On the wall above I used a sweet X and O balloon. We could all use a little kiss and hug, right? Pick them up at the party store. They’re filled with air and hung on string so they’re really convenient since you don’t need helium.

On top of the bar everything is set up for the signature cocktail of the night -our Dirty Shirleys.
