RoseCocktail recipe
Rating
The Rose cocktail is a delightful and visually appealing drink, featuring a blend of sweet and fruity flavors. It combines the rich and concentrated notes of cherry liqueur with the crisp and aromatic white vermouth, all while being subtly enhanced by the saccharine touch of strawberry syrup.
The result is a balanced cocktail that's both refreshing and sophisticated, with a beautiful color that pays homage to its name. Commonly served in a cocktail glass, the Rose is often garnished with a maraschino cherry, adding a touch of elegance and a hint of extra sweetness to the final presentation, making it a lovely choice for special occasions or as a refined after-dinner drink.

Nice cocktail. Sweet and smooth. Try adding a splash of lemon juice for a bit of zing. Fresh mint would also be a great garnish. Enjoyed it!
