Princess Cruises has announced something special for Valentine's Day -- a new cocktail. Inspired by the "Love Boat" TV show of the 70s and 80s, it was created by Ted Lange, who played everybody's favorite ship's bartender, Issac Washington.

Fittingly called "The Issac," the new drink is debuting on all Princess cruise ships in time for Valentine’s Day.

Lange recently visited Crown Princess to demonstrate how to make his new creation for the ship’s bartenders. Check out this video:
