Cocktail

Garnish

Bergamot Cordial (makes about 8 oz)

Jasmine Cordial (makes about 6 oz)

Honey-Rose Syrup (makes about 6 oz)

Method

Bergamot Cordial

  1. 1

    Make cordial

    Zest one bergamot to yield about 1 tablespoon of zest. In a small saucepan combine bergamot juice, water and sugar. Add the bergamot zest. Warm gently over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves (do not boil). Once sugar is dissolved, simmer 1–2 minutes to marry flavors. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain out zest and transfer cordial to a clean bottle. Chill. Yields about 8 oz. Keeps refrigerated 2–3 weeks.

Jasmine Cordial

  1. 2

    Concentrate tea syrup

    Brew very strong jasmine tea (about double strength) by steeping jasmine tea leaves or bags in 3 oz hot water for 6–8 minutes. Strain. While still warm, stir in 3 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Add the tablespoon of water if needed to help dissolve. Optionally add a few jasmine petals for extra perfume, cool, then refrigerate. Yields ~6 oz.

Honey-Rose Syrup

  1. 3

    Make syrup

    Combine honey and water in a small saucepan and warm gently, stirring until honey dissolves. Add dried rose petals and simmer on very low for 4–5 minutes to infuse. Remove from heat and let steep until cool (15–20 minutes). Strain out petals and transfer syrup to a jar. Refrigerate. Keeps 2 weeks.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 4

    Dry shake (if using egg white)

    Add gin, bergamot cordial, jasmine cordial, verjuice, honey-rose syrup, a dash of orange blossom or rose water, and egg white (if using) into a shaker. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

  2. 5

    Wet shake

    Add ice to the shaker (about 4 cubes). Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

  3. 6

    Strain & serve

    Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and any solids. If not using egg white, simply shake with ice and strain.

  4. 7

    Garnish

    Float a single edible rose petal on the foam and rest a candied bergamot slice on the rim or gently on the surface. Serve immediately.
