ROSE PETAL MARTINI
Dick Bradsell, Dick-Tails, 2022
Into a pitcher of ice pour
25 mls Bombay Sapphire Gin
25 mls Lanique Vodka Rose Petal Liqueur
25 mls Rubicon Lychee Juice
1 dash of Peychaud Bitters
Stir. Stain into pre-chilled cocktail glass
[Garnish: Edible Flower]
If I come across new products or discover a use for an old unusual one I and very pleased. Inspiration. I tried mixing Lanique Rose Petal Vodka liqueur with Rubicon lychee juice (when it came to my local shop). I tried the ratio 1 : 1 : 1. 3 equal parts, with Bombay Sapphire gin. And it just worked. Peychaud bitters improved it. It is very sweet but people like a sweet drink sometimes and I really like it. Make sure the petal is edible. Some flowers are poisonous! A poison garnish is a bit Agatha Christie. I teach people to try it shaken to see why it should be stirred. Far complex when stirred. One flavour when shaken. I know there are other versions of this drink and this is not the first rose petal martini but I won a competition with it .. so fuck off!
Review
Light pink in colour and subtle in flavour.

Rich, flavoursome honey replaces sugar syrup in this delicious Daiquiri. The fuller your honey, the more flavoursome your rum should be.

Fruity, yet spirit-forward. Looking at the ingredients, this cocktail should be very sweet. It is rich, but it is surprising how the dilution from...
