5 fl oz dry or off-dry rosé wine2 fl oz rosé sparkling wine or Prosecco (optional — for effervescence)1 tsp rosewater (preferably food-grade)1/2 tsp simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) or honey syrup

Method

Glass + Garnish

Chill glass

Place the champagne flute or white wine glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving (optional) to keep the wine cool.

Rinse and gently pat dry the edible rose petal and mint sprig if using. Set aside for garnish.

Wine & Flavoring

Combine base

Pour 5 fl oz of chilled dry or off-dry rosé into the chilled glass.

Add aromatics

Add 1 teaspoon of rosewater and 1/2 teaspoon of simple syrup to the rosé. Stir gently once with a bar spoon or swirl the glass once to integrate — avoid vigorous stirring to preserve any bubbles.

Optional effervescence

If using sparkling rosé or Prosecco, top the glass with 2 fl oz gently poured down the side to preserve effervescence. If not using, proceed to the next step.

Citrus Brightening

Add 1/4 fl oz (about a splash) of fresh lemon juice to the glass to brighten flavors. Stir gently once.

Express the lemon twist over the glass to release oils, then drop it in as garnish.

Float the edible rose petal on the surface and/or tuck the mint sprig at the rim for aroma and visual appeal.

Serve

Serve immediately while chilled and, if used, effervescent. Sip and enjoy the floral rose accent balanced by the fresh lemon and gentle sweetness.
