Hi Lovely Readers,
I'm not sure if I'll do this every Monday, but since my birthday is this week I'm going to kick- off the feature again with Libra Cocktails.
Libra is an air sign ruled by Venus. Pink, rose & pomegranate are colors, scents and flavors of the the sign so all the drinks are pink, with pomegranate, and are garnished or dashed with roses.
The Libra Cocktail
- ¾ oz. reposado tequila
- ¾ oz blanc vermouth
- ¾ oz. pomegranate liqueur
- ½ oz. orange curacao
- ¾ oz pineapple juice
- ½ oz. lime juice
- dash of bitters
- rose petals
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake until well-chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass, add rose petals as a garnish.

The Venus Fizz
- 2 ozs. of light rum
- 1 oz. fresh lemon juice (strained)
- 1 tsp. rosewater
- ¾ oz. Coco Lopez coconut cream
- ¼ oz. grenadine
- ¾ oz. pasteurized egg whites
- 2 ounces approx. soda water
- rose petals
Add the rum, lemon juice, rosewater, Coco Lopez and grenadine into a shaker. Add ice shake until chilled. Strain the liquid into another container and add the egg whites, then use a milk frother to aerate the egg whites. Look for a firmer foam to appear on top of the drink
{or you may return the drink into a shaker and shake without ice for around 5 minutes}. Pour into a chilled Collins glass and top with soda water till the foam goes just above the lip of the glass. There should be a light and airy foam top. Garnish with rose petals.
