I like the flavour of food and drinks infused with rose syrup. Especially in Summer!

During one of my vacations in Mykonos I discovered a delicious cocktail that was based on rose syrup. Once at home and inspired by this cocktail, I decided to create my own version. And here it is, my very own Summer cocktail!

Spoiler alert: not only does it look great, it tastes delicious too ;).

Want to try it? Here’s how you make my ‘Heavenly Zesty Rose Cocktail’:

• – Put some ice cubes in a cocktail shaker.
• – Squeeze half a lemon and add the juice.
• – Add 25 ml. rose syrup, 25 ml elderflower syrup and 50 ml. gin.
• – Take a cocktail glass and put some mint leaves on the bottom of the glass.
• – Put ice cubes on top of the mint leaves.
• – Pour the rose/elderflower/gin mix into the glass and top it off with sparkling water.
• – Garnish with a twig of rosemary for the finishing touch.

Cheers!
