Description
Gorgeously floral, sweet and tangy, this delicious rose cocktail is the epitome of pretty in pink!
Ingredients
Units
- 20ml Rose Syrup*
- 50 ml Leonista Blanco Mezcal
- 150ml grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 70ml soda water
- Loads of ice
Instructions
- Pour the rose syrup and mezcal into a glass and stir until combined.
- Fill the glass with ice.
- Next, hold a teaspoon over the glass (the rounded side facing straight up) and slowly pour in the grapefruit juice over the teaspoon and into the glass, until the glass is 3/4 full. The teaspoon will help gently distribute the juice and keep the cocktail in distinct layers.
- Repeat the teaspoon action and top up the cocktail with soda.
- Serve immediately with a paper straw, and instruct guests to give everything a stir once they have admired the hues of pink.
Notes
*I sourced my rose syrup from Amazon but you can also make your own. Most brands are electric pink and will help achieve the “sunrise” cocktail effect. If you get another brand or make your own, stir a bit of colouring into the syrup. Adjust the rose syrup to your liking as sugar content will vary from brand to brand.
Top Tip: If you want to make elements of this ahead double or triple the recipe as needed. Mix the rose syrup with the tequila and set it aside in the fridge, along with your grapefruit juice. Once you are ready to serve all you will need to do is assemble the cocktails – easy peasy!
