Cocktail
Chamomile & Rose Honey Syrup (makes ~6 oz)
Garnish
Method
Chamomile & Rose Honey Syrup
- 1
Steep and strain
Place the dried chamomile flowers and dried rose petals in a small heatproof bowl or jar. Pour the hot water (about 3 tbsp) over the botanicals and let steep for 5 minutes to extract floral flavor.

Make syrup
Stir the honey into the hot floral infusion until fully dissolved. Taste and, if needed, add a little more hot water (a teaspoon at a time) to reach a pourable syrup consistency. Strain through a fine mesh or coffee filter into a small container, pressing solids to extract liquid. Cool to room temperature before using. (Yield ~3 tbsp — double the recipe if you want more.)

Wet shake
Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

Strain
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any botanical bits.

Finish & garnish
If desired, add 1 dash of rosewater or Angostura bitters on the foam and gently swirl with a toothpick for a decorative touch. Garnish with a single dried chamomile flower or a small rose petal and a lemon twist expressed over the drink placed on the rim.
