The Reservoire
Notes of fresh pomegranate and pineapple juice fused with rose water dominate the Hawaiian Valentine cocktail. White rum and triple sec add some punch to the drink. Rs. 450++. At Koramangala

The recently launched Moonlight at this lounge is an invigorating mix of ginger, lemongrass, rose syrup and lychee boosted with vodka. Topped with rose petals, it makes for a pretty sight. Rs. 600++. At Malleshwaram
URU Brewpark
The suggestively named Slutty Aphrodite at this brewery boasts a blend of rose water, sparkling rosé and vodka infused with strawberry sencha tea. The drink is finished with edible gold dust. Rs. 550++. At JP Nagar

The Lady Rose at this bar is one from their Botanical Garden section that celebrates flowers and leaves. Combining rose tea-infused vodka, rose syrup, lime juice and egg whites, this one promises to be heady. Rs. 510 ++. At Indira Nagar
Raahi – Neo Kitchen and Bar
With a liqueur made of dried rose petals, rose water and vinegar, and lychee extracts, the smokey Chaucer’s Story looks as dramatic as it sounds. The Absolut vodka in the drink adds the much-needed kick. Rs. 495++. At Shanthala Nagar
