Scarlet Bloom Cocktail Recipe

BOTANICAL BEVERAGES

This vibrant cocktail offers a bright blend of warmth, spice, and  fizz, making it a perfect choice for cozy evenings or special gatherings.

With a blend of bitter and sweet notes, its aromatic flavors combine to make a festive drink – and one that can also easily be made as a mocktail!

And for an extra botanical embellishment, set edible flowers (either whole blooms or loose petals) in rose-shaped ice cube molds and freeze until solid.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces bourbon

• 1 ounce spiced syrup, such as FloraLuna Apothecary Cardamom & Clove Syrup or St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram

• ½ ounce Cointreau

• 1 ounce grenadine

• 4 dashes Angostura bitters

• 6 ounces sparkling rosé wine

• Edible flowers for garnish / ice cubes

  Note: for an alcohol-free mocktail version, omit the bourbon, use an alcohol-removed wine (we like  Surely Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rose), and use simple syrup in place of the Cointreau.

Instructions

1. In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, spiced syrup, Cointreau, grenadine, and Angostura bitters.

2. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled.

3. Strain into a glass filled with ice – or add an oversized flower-shaped ice cube for an extra flourish.

4. Pour in the sparkling rosé.

5. Garnish the rim of the glass with edible flowers and enjoy!
