PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — As an alternative to the typical Valentine's Day, Bluebird Distilling's bar inside the Bourse Food Hall on Independence Mall is hosting an event called Shred-her or Shed Him. 

The price of admission: a photo of your ex.

You can stop by today with a photo of you ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend and feed it through a paper shredder — and Bluebird will give you a free pink drink made with its Juniper Gin if you're 21 or older.

Emily Marmion broke up with her boyfriend about a year ago.

Asked if she is truly over him, she said, "I would like to think so, but there is really no better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to get that closure fully and to shred a photo of his face."

She shredded his picture on Wednesday.

"I feel great," she said. "That was satisfying."

Now, for that drink.
