Cocktail

Cardamom Syrup (makes about 6–8 oz)

Method

Cardamom Syrup

1

Make syrup

Combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water and 8 lightly crushed green cardamom pods in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse. Remove from heat and let steep for 20–30 minutes for stronger cardamom flavor. Strain out cardamom pods through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Syrup will keep 2–3 weeks refrigerated.

Cocktail

2

Chill glass

Place a coupe or flute in the freezer or fill with ice and water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

3

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz gin, 0.5 oz Rockey’s Botanical Liqueur, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz cardamom syrup, and 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters.

4

Shake

Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled (shake until the shaker is frosty).

5

Strain

Discard ice/water from the chilled glass if used. Double-strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled coupe or a chilled flute using a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pulp.

6

Top with Prosecco

Carefully top the cocktail with about 2.5 oz chilled Prosecco. Pour gently to preserve carbonation and to create a light, foamy head. Do not overfill the glass.

7

Garnish and finish

Express a lemon twist over the drink (pinch the peel to release oils) and drop it into the glass. Optionally float a whole cardamom pod or an edible flower for aroma and presentation. Serve immediately.
