Roses in the Snow Cocktail Recipe
Photograph: Elana Lepkowski
The delicate aroma of roses is the star in this variation on a Gin Fizz cocktail.
Rather than a juniper-heavy London Dry, use a New Western style gin featuring flavors such as cucumber, jasmine, or pine needles. Hendrick's, Uncle Val's, or Botanivore from St. George Spirits are good examples.
Note: To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Simple syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
