Rose Petal Bellini
Holiday 2012
The syrup settles at the bottom of this spectacular drink, as if someone had dropped a ruby into the Champagne flute. Some like to use a swizzle stick to draw the heavy syrup up into the cocktail, which makes the drink much sweeter. Either way, the aromas of rose, cinnamon and lychee make this cocktail smell as heavenly as it tastes.
Rosewater and rose syrup (such as Rooh Afza sharbat) are favourite ingredients in Indian desserts and easily found at South Asian grocery stores.
