Sparkling citrus punch cocktail recipe
This cocktail recipe was created by Lydia Levine for her book Cosmic Cocktails: A Guide to the Mixology of Astrology.
Lydia says: "Rosemary symbolises loyalty, one of Taurus' greatest strengths in a relationship. This sparkling punch made with a rosemary syrup is perfect for a Taurus sun to share with a loved one."
Jessica Morris, loveFOOD Features Editor and through-and-through Taurean, says: "Sipping this sparkling punch, I feel like a nature-loving bull in the pasture! It's fruity, it's sweet, and the rosemary-infused sugar syrup is pleasing on the nose and palate. We Tauruses love a bit of decadence, so when it comes to fizz, only Champagne will do. Go all-out hedonist and drink the lot yourself, or share the bowl with your partner for the ultimate Taurus love-in."
