History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2002 by the legendary bartender Dick Bradsell for Opium in London, England.

ROSE PETAL MARTINI
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!

Floral rose on the finish. The Lychee is a bit overpowering and I personally would say it’s a few notches on the sweet scale.

Lanique and Lychee are made for each other; I have made this using Kwai Fei Lychee Liqueur in place of the lychee juice.
