Happy Valentine’s Day party people! For this celebration of love, what is more romantic than a cocktail filled with roses?
Tonight people in many places of the world are toasting to romance. I’ll be making these at my house.
This cocktail a vodka-based martini. I added rose flavored syrup and a splash of rosewater. Yes. It tastes like roses. No, it does not taste like perfume, at least to me anyway.
For an extra decorative touch, I embellished the martini glass rims with rose sugar. The rose sugar can be made the day of but store it in a tightly sealed plastic container for future use. You can add it to decorate cookies or other baked goods.
For another beautiful garnish idea, use fresh (non-sprayed) rose petals.
I created this cocktail with a single girl’s Valentine’s celebration in mind. Unless your fella is a Girl Drink Drunk, this cocktail probably is not for him.
Whether you are single or paired, enjoy your day!
