2 oz gin
3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz simple syrup
4 drops rose water
3 drops Angostura bitters
3 slices cucumber
1 mint sprig
Pinch of salt
Muddle cucumber and salt in tin. Add ice to tin and mix gin, mint, lime juice, simple syrup and 3 drops rose water and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled coupe glass, garnish with a mint leaf. Put 1 drop of rose water on leaf and 3 drops of bitters around leaf. Enjoy!
Notes: I was reading about edible roses and fell upon cocktails that use roses. This is not your typical drink, but sometimes I enjoy the challenge. This drink is sweet and complex, layers of flavors and very good. The rose water has surprising flavor- very concentrated and delicious. I’ll be searching for more recipes to use it again.
