Tickled Pink Rose Lychee Cocktail

Tickled Pink
A softly floral rose and lychee cocktail lifted with crisp apple berry sparkle
MAKES
1 cocktail
SERVE
Chilled coupe or martini glass
INGREDIENTS
- 45 ml vodka
- 25 ml syrup from a tin of lychees
- 15 ml fresh lime juice
- FLV Rose Essence flavour concentrate, to taste
- 60 ml apple berry sparkling water, chilled
- Ice
- 1 canned lychee, to garnish
- Food safe dried rose petals, optional
METHOD
- Add the vodka, lychee syrup, lime juice and ice to a cocktail shaker.
- Add the FLV Rose Essence flavour concentrate according to its recommended dosage. Start lightly so the lychee remains the juicy lead note and the rose gives a clean floral lift.
- Shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled, then double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
- Top with the chilled apple berry sparkling water and stir once, very gently, to combine without losing the bubbles.
- Garnish with a lychee on a cocktail pick and a few food safe dried rose petals, if using.
FLAVOUR NOTE
The apple berry sparkling water provides the soft pink finish as well as a gentle berry lift. Keep rose as the only botanical so the flavour stays clear and the drink does not become perfumed.
