History
Adapted from a recipe created in 2018 by Sergio Leanza at Funkidory, Peckham, London, England. Sergio describes his drink as being "a Middle Eastern version of a Daiquiri, dedicated to Marjan Satrapi (novelist/illustrator)."
40ml Puerto Rican-style rum
Sergio Leanza's original 2018 recipe
10ml Strega liqueur
15ml rose syrup
15ml lime juice
(homemade 1:1 rose syrup: 5g rose petals, 500ml water and 500gr caster sugar)
Incidentally, Pārsapura was the capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BCE), situated 60 km northeast of the modern-day Iranian city of Shiraz.
Review
With its strong rose flavour, the Persepolis is somewhat reminiscent of a Turkish Delight so is very appropriately garnished.

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...
