Despite the dainty name and hue, this cocktail packs a burst of flavour like any classic.

Zesty, yet fresh with subtle mint and lingering Spice flavours, it is a perfect aperitif drink to open the palate.

INGREDIENTS:

• 60ml Seedlip Spice 94
• 10ml Rose Syrup
• 15ml Grapefruit Cordial (I used Bickford’s Pink Grapefruit Cordial)
• 30ml Grapefruit Juice
• 6-8 Mint Leaves
• Ice 

METHOD:

1. Measure all ingredients and add into a shaker.
2. Fill shaker ¾ with ice.
3. Close shaker and shake vigorously.
4. Double Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
5. (Strain through a fine strainer to catch any mint leaf debris).
6. Garnish with a Rose petal or alternatively a mint leaf.
