Every woman should have a signature cocktail recipe. While this is not the typical drink you order on Saturday nights at the local bar, it’s the concoction party guests come to know you by. Your “Cocktail DuJour” should blend a bit of your personality with flavors that every party guest will enjoy.

Mixing the tart flavor of pomegranate with the sweet taste of Prosecco, indulge in the Red Carpet Pom. The “Pom” is a cold and refreshing cocktail that features pomegranate and orange with a hint of Prosecco (or sparkling wine).
