So today, I found a pack of edible flowers at the <a href="http://www.wedge.coop/">Wedge Community Co-op</a> and was happy to see a few rose petals in the mix. The inspiration for this cocktail was Shaker's Rose Vodka (which is not available anymore). But I've had a bottle of it around for nearly 4 years now. It smells so much like perfume, that I think it's pretty much undrinkable by itself. But I was determined to find some mixture that made the stuff not only palatable, but tasty. I think I've succeeded. The following recipe is pretty much a delicious lychee flavored drink, but the rose comes through in the aftertaste for an interesting finish. Also the lychee flavor is very conducive of "flower" flavored drinks. <dd><dl> <ul> <li><b>2 oz Vodka</b></li> <li><b>1 oz Soho Lychee Liqueur</b></li> <li><b>1 oz White Creme de Cocao</b></li> <li><b>1 oz Shaker's Rose Vodka*</b></li> <li><b>5 or 6 Drops of Grenadine</b></li> <li><b>Rose Petal</b></li> </ul> Chill an up glass with crushed ice and water. Shake the liquid ingredients with ice in a shaker until it sweats. Garnish by floating an organic rose petal in the drink. </dl></dd> * Since Shaker's Rose Vodka is no longer available, you could substitute Sputnik Rose Vodka or even rose water. <br class="clear"/> http://www.goobertech.net/node/4668#comments drinking martini recipe rose Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:21:15 -0500 Slye Fox 4668 at http://www.goobertech.net
