  • Citrus juicer or hand juicer
  • Vegetable peeler for garnish

Method
 

  1. Place your coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer for at least five minutes before mixing.
  2. Cut a fresh lime in half and use a citrus juicer to extract 0.75 ounces of juice into a measuring cup.
  3. Measure 2 ounces of vodka into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass using a jigger.
  4. Add 0.75 ounces of fresh lime juice to the shaker.
  5. Pour 0.5 ounces of rose syrup into the shaker.
  6. Add 0.25 ounces of dry vermouth to the mixture.
  7. Fill the shaker with large ice cubes or crushed ice, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously for about ten seconds until frosty.
  8. Strain the mixture into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne or julep strainer.
  9. Express the oils from a lime wheel over the drink or drop in a rose petal for garnish, then serve immediately.

Notes

Always use fresh lime juice squeezed moments before mixing, and store your rose syrup in a cool place to preserve its delicate flavor and color.
